And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves, &c.] Each of these doors had two leaves, which met in a middle post, and might be opened either singly or together, as occasion required; (see Gill on “<264048>Ezekiel 40:48”): two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door; two for the door of the temple, and two for the door of the most holy place; or each leaf of both doors had two foldings; as there were two leaves in a door, there were two foldings in every leaf; so that the door might be opened wider or narrower, as was thought fit; denoting the greater number of persons let in, and the greater light and knowledge had, at one time than at another; (see <110631>1 Kings 6:31,34).
