These items were essential for the service and maintenance of the temple, reflecting the meticulous care required in worship. The use of pure gold signifies the holiness and value of the temple service. Gold, being a precious metal, symbolizes purity and divinity, often associated with God's presence. The wick trimmers were used to maintain the lamps, ensuring the light remained constant, symbolizing the continuous presence of God. Sprinkling bowls were used for purification rituals, emphasizing the need for cleanliness and holiness before God. Ladles and censers were used in offerings, with censers specifically for burning incense, representing the prayers of the people ascending to God (<a href="/revelation/5-8.htm">Revelation 5:8</a>). The use of gold in these items also points to the wealth and glory of Solomon's reign, a fulfillment of God's promise to David regarding his son (<a href="/1_chronicles/22-9.htm">1 Chronicles 22:9-10</a>).and the gold doors of the temple: The gold doors signify the entrance to a sacred space, marking the transition from the profane to the holy. Gold, as a material, denotes the splendor and majesty of God's dwelling place. The doors serve as a barrier, protecting the sanctity of the temple and ensuring that only those who are consecrated may enter. This reflects the holiness of God and the separation between God and humanity due to sin, a theme prevalent throughout the Old Testament. The doors also symbolize Christ, who is described as the "door" or "gate" through which believers enter into the presence of God (<a href="/john/10-9.htm">John 10:9</a>).the inner doors to the Most Holy Place The Most Holy Place, or Holy of Holies, was the innermost and most sacred area of the temple, where the Ark of the Covenant was kept. Only the high priest could enter this space, and only once a year on the Day of Atonement (<a href="/leviticus/16-2.htm">Leviticus 16:2-34</a>). The inner doors emphasize the separation between God and man, a barrier that was ultimately removed through the death of Jesus Christ, as symbolized by the tearing of the temple veil (<a href="/matthew/27-51.htm">Matthew 27:51</a>). This act signifies the new access believers have to God through Christ, who serves as the ultimate High Priest (<a href="/hebrews/9-11.htm">Hebrews 9:11-12</a>).as well as the doors of the main hall. The main hall, or the Holy Place, was the area where priests performed daily rituals and offerings. The doors to the main hall represent the accessibility of worship and service to God, yet still highlight the need for mediation through the priesthood. This structure points to the order and reverence required in approaching God, a concept that is fulfilled in the New Testament through Jesus, who mediates a new covenant (<a href="/hebrews/8-6.htm">Hebrews 8:6</a>). The design and function of the temple, including its doors, foreshadow the coming of Christ, who provides a new and living way to approach God (<a href="/hebrews/10-19.htm">Hebrews 10:19-22</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/s/solomon.htm">Solomon</a> The king of Israel who commissioned the building of the temple, fulfilling his father David's vision. 2. <a href="/topical/t/temple_of_solomon.htm">Temple of Solomon</a> The central place of worship for the Israelites, symbolizing God's presence among His people. 3. <a href="/topical/m/most_holy_place.htm">Most Holy Place</a> The innermost part of the temple, where the Ark of the Covenant was kept, representing the direct presence of God. 4. <a href="/topical/g/gold_overlay.htm">Gold Overlay</a> Symbolizes purity, divinity, and the value of worship and reverence towards God. 5. <a href="/topical/t/temple_artifacts.htm">Temple Artifacts</a> Items such as wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, and censers, which were used in the rituals and ceremonies of the temple.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_significance_of_worship.htm">The Significance of Worship</a> The detailed description of the temple's construction and its artifacts highlights the importance of worship and reverence in our relationship with God. <a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_gold.htm">Symbolism of Gold</a> Gold's use in the temple signifies the purity and holiness required in our worship and service to God.

A slightly different form of the word is translated "pruning-hooks "four times in the Prophets Isaiah, Joel, Micah. No doubt these snuffers were something different from the tongs of the preceding verse; the use of one may have been rather to cut the wicks, and the other to trim them. The spoons; Hebrew, כַפ. This is the word used so often for the "hand," but the essential idea of which is the hollow of either hand or foot or other thing, and among other things of a spoon shape. The word is used of the frankincense-cups (<a href="/numbers/7-14.htm">Numbers 7:14, 20, 26</a>) brought to the dedication of the tabernacle by the several princes. The censers; Hebrew, מַחְתּות. These were "snuff-dishes" (<a href="/exodus/25-38.htm">Exodus 25:38</a>; <a href="/exodus/37-23.htm">Exodus 37:23</a>; <a href="/numbers/4-9.htm">Numbers 4:9</a>). The entry of the house; Hebrew, פֶּתַח. Some think this word refers to the door-frames, as distinct from the door-leaves or doors themselves. But the parallel (<a href="/1_kings/7-50.htm">1 Kings 7:50</a>) gives us what is translated as "hinges" (Hebrew, פות), a word that occurs only here in any such sense, as presumably (Gesenius, ' Lexicon ') "the hollowed part of a hinge," and <a href="/isaiah/3-17.htm">Isaiah 3:17</a> for the pudenda muliebria. The mistaken transcribing of a kheth for a tau will amply account for the difference. <a href="/commentaries/2_chronicles/4-22.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>the wick trimmers, וְהַֽמְזַמְּר֧וֹת (wə·ham·zam·mə·rō·wṯ) Conjunctive waw, Article | Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4212.htm">Strong's 4212: </a> A tweezer sprinkling basins, וְהַמִּזְרָק֛וֹת (wə·ham·miz·rā·qō·wṯ) Conjunctive waw, Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4219.htm">Strong's 4219: </a> Bowl, basin ladles, וְהַכַּפּ֥וֹת (wə·hak·kap·pō·wṯ) Conjunctive waw, Article | Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3709.htm">Strong's 3709: </a> Hollow or flat of the hand, palm, sole (of the foot), a pan and censers וְהַמַּחְתּ֖וֹת (wə·ham·maḥ·tō·wṯ) Conjunctive waw, Article | Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4289.htm">Strong's 4289: </a> A fireholder, censer, snuff dish of purest סָג֑וּר (sā·ḡūr) Verb - Qal - QalPassParticiple - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5462.htm">Strong's 5462: </a> To shut up, to surrender gold; זָהָ֣ב (zā·hāḇ) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2091.htm">Strong's 2091: </a> Gold, something gold-colored, as oil, a clear sky and the gold זָהָֽב׃ (zā·hāḇ) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2091.htm">Strong's 2091: </a> Gold, something gold-colored, as oil, a clear sky doors וּפֶ֣תַח (ū·p̄e·ṯaḥ) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6607.htm">Strong's 6607: </a> An opening, door, entrance way of the temple: הַ֠בַּיִת (hab·ba·yiṯ) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1004.htm">Strong's 1004: </a> A house the inner הַפְּנִימִיּ֜וֹת (hap·pə·nî·mî·yō·wṯ) Article | Adjective - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6442.htm">Strong's 6442: </a> Interior doors דַּלְתוֹתָ֨יו (dal·ṯō·w·ṯāw) Noun - feminine plural construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1817.htm">Strong's 1817: </a> Something swinging, the valve of a, door to the Most Holy Place לְקֹ֣דֶשׁ (lə·qō·ḏeš) Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6944.htm">Strong's 6944: </a> A sacred place, thing, sanctity as well as the doors וְדַלְתֵ֥י (wə·ḏal·ṯê) Conjunctive waw | Noun - fdc <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1817.htm">Strong's 1817: </a> Something swinging, the valve of a, door of the main hall. הַבַּ֛יִת (hab·ba·yiṯ) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1004.htm">Strong's 1004: </a> A house <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/2_chronicles/4-22.htm">2 Chronicles 4:22 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/2_chronicles/4-22.htm">2 Chronicles 4:22 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/2_chronicles/4-22.htm">2 Chronicles 4:22 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/2_chronicles/4-22.htm">2 Chronicles 4:22 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/2_chronicles/4-22.htm">2 Chronicles 4:22 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/2_chronicles/4-22.htm">2 Chronicles 4:22 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/2_chronicles/4-22.htm">2 Chronicles 4:22 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/2_chronicles/4-22.htm">2 Chronicles 4:22 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/2_chronicles/4-22.htm">2 Chronicles 4:22 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/2_chronicles/4-22.htm">2 Chronicles 4:22 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/2_chronicles/4-22.htm">OT History: 2 Chronicles 4:22 And the snuffers and the basins (2 Chron. 2Ch iiCh ii ch 2 chr 2chr) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/2_chronicles/4-21.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="2 Chronicles 4:21"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="2 Chronicles 4:21" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/2_chronicles/5-1.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="2 Chronicles 5:1"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="2 Chronicles 5:1" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
