1 Kings6:31
31 ¶ And for the entring of the oracle, he made doors of olive-tree: the lintel and side-posts were a fifth part of the wall .
i. e. Four Cubits in height or breadth, whereas the Wall was 20 Cubits. Or, a fifth part of the door now mentioned. Or rather, five square, having 5 sides, and 5 Angles, which is not incongruous, nor unusual in Buildings.
Marginal references: Or, five square.
