SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:20
Y el oratorio estaba en la parte de adentro, el cual tenía veinte codos de largo, y otros veinte de ancho, y otros veinte de altura; y lo vistió de oro purísimo; asimismo cubrió el altar de cedro.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. And the oracle in the forepart , etc.] Which stood in the forepart of the temple, before a man’s face as he entered into it, and went on; or the forepart of the holy of holies, next to the holy place, was of the dimensions as follows, when the back part of it might be higher at least, and be equal to the holy place, even thirty feet; the forepart being lower, and left open to let in the light of the candlesticks, and the smoke of the incense, out of the holy place: this [was] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof : and was a perfect square, and as the most holy place may be an emblem of the church triumphant, it may denote the perfection of its heavenly state; so the new Jerusalem is a foursquare, ( Revelation 21:16); and he overlaid it with pure gold ; make it rich, glorious, and magnificent, and may denote the glory of the heavenly state, ( Revelation 21:21); and so Florus f100 , the Roman historian, calls it the golden heaven, as it were, into which Pompey went, and saw the great secret of the Jewish nation, the ark: and [so] covered the altar [which was of] cedar ; the altar of incense, which is here mentioned, because it was near the most holy place, ( Kings 6:22); this altar by Moses was made of shittim wood, but Solomon’s was of cedar it seems; unless, as the words will bear to be rendered, “he covered the altar with cedar” f101 ; though made of shittim wood, it had a covering of cedar over it; or if of stone, such a covering was on it, that it might better receive the gold which was afterwards put upon it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-38 - See what was typified by this temple. 1. Christ is the true Temple. In him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead; in him meet all God' spiritual Israel; through him we have access with confidence to God. 2 Every believer is a living temple, in whom the Spirit of God dwells 1Co 3:16. This living temple is built upon Christ as its Foundation and will be perfect in due time. 3. The gospel church is the mystica temple. It grows to a holy temple in the Lord, enriched and beautifie with the gifts and graces of the Spirit. This temple is built firm upon a Rock. 4. Heaven is the everlasting temple. There the church wil be fixed. All that shall be stones in that building, must, in the present state of preparation, be fitted and made ready for it. Le sinners come to Jesus as the living Foundation, that they may be buil on him, a part of this spiritual house, consecrated in body and soul to the glory of God __________________________________________________________________
