32 On the two doors made of olive wood he carved[a] cherubim, palm trees, and flowers in bloom, and he plated them with gold.[b] He plated the cherubim and the palm trees with hammered gold.[c] 33 In the same way he made doorposts of olive wood for the entrance to the main hall, only with four-sided pillars.[d] 34 He also made[e] two doors out of wood from evergreens; each door had two folding leaves.[f]

- 1 Kings 6:32 tn Heb “carved carvings of.”
- 1 Kings 6:32 tn Heb “he plated [with] gold” (the precise object is not stated).
- 1 Kings 6:32 tn Heb “and he hammered out the gold on the cherubim and the palm trees.”
- 1 Kings 6:33 tn Heb “and so he did at the entrance of the main hall, doorposts of olive wood, from a fourth.”
- 1 Kings 6:34 tn The words “he also made” are added for stylistic reasons.
- 1 Kings 6:34 tc Heb “two of the leaves of the first door were folding, and two of the leaves of the second door were folding.” In the second half of the description, the MT has קְלָעִים (qelaʿim, “curtains”), but this probably should be emended to צְלָעִים (tselaʿim, “leaves”), which appears in the first half of the statement. One Hebrew ms, the LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate support צְלָעִים (tselaʿim, “leaves”).
