Discovery Box1 Kings 6:33-35 
Context6:33 In the same way he made doorposts of olive wood for the entrance to the main hall, only with four-sided pillars. 1 6:34 He also made 2 two doors out of wood from evergreens; each door had two folding leaves. 3 6:35 He carved cherubs, palm trees, and flowers in bloom and plated them with gold, leveled out over the carvings.
1 tn Heb “and so he did at the entrance of the main hall, doorposts of olive wood, from a fourth.”
2 tn The words “he also made” are added for stylistic reasons.
3 tc Heb “two of the leaves of the first door were folding, and two of the leaves of the second door were folding.” In the second half of the description, the MT has קְלָעִים (qÿla’im, “curtains”), but this is surely a corruption of צְלָעִים (tsÿla’im, “leaves”) which appears in the first half of the statement.
