And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple,.... Both of the holy, and the most holy place:

cherubim and palm trees, like as were made on the walls; the doors of both places had the same decorations as the walls of each;

Ezekiel 41:18;

Ezekiel 41:19;

Ezekiel 41:20; and so it was in Solomon's temple, 1 Kings 6:32, a cherub and a palm tree on each leaf, or on each folding of a leaf, according as it would admit of:

and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without; on the outward front of the porch were some thick wainscot boards, which projected as a cover to the entrance into it; or, as it may be rendered, also on

the thick piece of wood in the front of the porch without r; which, as Starckius thinks, was a large wooden bar, which shut and held in the folding leaves of the door; and on this, or these thick planks, were cherubim and palm trees.
