They were typically made of wood, sometimes reinforced with metal, and were used to secure homes, cities, and sacred spaces. The concept of doors in the Bible extends beyond their physical function, often representing opportunities, transitions, and divine protection. Old Testament References In the Old Testament, doors are frequently mentioned in the context of homes and sacred spaces. The Passover narrative in <a href="/exodus/12-7.htm">Exodus 12:7-23</a> describes the Israelites marking their doorposts with lamb's blood to protect their households from the plague of the firstborn. This act of faith and obedience highlights the door as a boundary between life and death, safety and judgment. The construction of the Temple by Solomon included detailed descriptions of doors. In <a href="/1_kings/6-31.htm">1 Kings 6:31-35</a>, the doors of the inner sanctuary were made of olive wood and adorned with carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, overlaid with gold. These doors symbolized the entrance to a holy place, emphasizing the separation between the divine and the mundane. New Testament References In the New Testament, doors continue to hold symbolic meaning. Jesus uses the metaphor of a door to describe Himself in <a href="/john/10-9.htm">John 10:9</a>: "I am the door. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture." Here, Jesus presents Himself as the exclusive means of salvation and access to spiritual nourishment. The imagery of doors also appears in the context of evangelism and opportunity. In <a href="/revelation/3-8.htm">Revelation 3:8</a>, Jesus speaks to the church in Philadelphia: "I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut." This open door signifies opportunities for ministry and the advancement of the Gospel, assured by divine authority. Symbolism and Metaphor Doors in the Bible often symbolize choices and transitions. In <a href="/matthew/7-7.htm">Matthew 7:7-8</a>, Jesus encourages persistence in prayer with the promise, "Knock, and it will be opened to you." This metaphorical door represents the access to God's presence and blessings through prayer and faith. The concept of doors also conveys the idea of readiness and vigilance. In the parable of the ten virgins (<a href="/matthew/25.htm">Matthew 25:1-13</a>), the closed door signifies the finality of judgment and the importance of being prepared for the coming of the bridegroom, a representation of Christ's return. Cultural and Historical Context In ancient Near Eastern culture, doors were not only functional but also carried social and religious significance. City gates, often referred to as doors, were places of judgment and commerce, as seen in <a href="/ruth/4.htm">Ruth 4:1-11</a>, where Boaz negotiates the redemption of Ruth at the city gate. The threshold of a door was considered sacred, and crossing it often involved rituals or blessings. This cultural understanding enriches the biblical narratives, where doors serve as thresholds to new beginnings, divine encounters, and spiritual truths. Conclusion Throughout Scripture, doors are more than mere physical structures; they are rich in symbolism, representing access to God, opportunities for service, and the necessity of spiritual readiness. Whether in the context of protection, judgment, or divine invitation, doors in the Bible invite believers to consider their own spiritual journeys and the doors God may be opening or closing in their lives.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Doors[<a href="../g/gate.htm">GATE</a>]<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Moved on pivots of wood fastened in sockets above and below (<a href="/proverbs/26-14.htm">Proverbs 26:14</a>).

In the interior of Oriental houses, curtains were frequently used instead of doors.The entrances of the tabernacle had curtains (<a href="/exodus/26-31.htm">Exodus 26:31</a>-33, 36). The "valley of Achor" is called a "door of hope," because immediately after the execution of Achan the Lord said to Joshua, "Fear not," and from that time Joshua went forward in a career of uninterrupted conquest. Paul speaks of a "door opened" for the spread of the gospel (<a href="/1_corinthians/16-9.htm">1 Corinthians 16:9</a>; <a href="/2_corinthians/2-12.htm">2 Corinthians 2:12</a>; <a href="/colossians/4-3.htm">Colossians 4:3</a>).
