Haydock's commentary
Fir-tree, or some species of cedar, ver. 15.
Double. In the large doors, other smaller were made, that the priests might pass more easily. (Menochius)
And so, &c. Literally, "and holding each other, was opened." Both the great and the small doors might open at the same time; (Sanchez) or rather the latter would afford a passage, while the great folding doors were shut. (Menochius)
Perhaps both the doors of the holy place and of the sanctuary were so connected, that both opened together. (Tract. Middot. iv. 1.) (Calmet)
But the sanctuary would never be thus exposed to public view. Protestants, "two leaves of one door were folding," &c. (Haydock)
