Commentary on 1 Kings 6:31
Theological / DevotionalDoors. These doors gave access from the holy place to the most holy.
A fifth part. The meaning seems to be that the lintel was one fifth of the width of the wall, and each doorpost was one fifth of the height of the wall. This would make the entire opening a square of 4 cu., or approximately 6 ft. (1.8 m.). Each door, therefore, would be about 6 by 3 ft. (1.8 by .9 m.).
