SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:22
Vistió pues de oro toda la Casa hasta el cabo; y asimismo vistió de oro todo el altar que estaba delante del oratorio.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 6:22
Verse 22. The whole house he overlaid with gold] It is impossible to calculate this expense, or the quantity of gold employed in this sacred building.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22. And the whole house he overlaid with gold , etc.] Both the holy place, and the most holy place: until he had finished all the house ; in this splendid and glorious manner: also the whole altar that [was] by the oracle ; the altar of incense, which stood just before the entrance into the oracle, or most holy place: he overlaid with gold ; he overlaid it all over with gold; hence it is called the golden altar, and was an emblem of the excellent and effectual mediation and intercession of Christ, ( Revelation 8:3,4). Agreeably to this account Eupolemus, an Heathen writer testifies, that the whole house, from the floor to the tool, was covered with gold, as well as with cedar and cypress wood, that the stonework might not appear; and so the capitol at Rome, perhaps in imitation of this temple, its roofs and tiles were glided with gold f105 ; a magnificent temple, like this, was at Upsal in Switzerland, as Olaus Magnus relates f106 .
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 __________________________________________________________________
