Dict: easton - Doors

easton:

Doors @ moved on pivots of wood fastened in sockets above and below kjv@Proverbs:26:14). They were fastened by a lock kjv@Judges:3:23-25; Cant. kjv@5:5) or by a bar kjv@Judges:16:3; kjv@Job:38:10). In the interior of Oriental houses, curtains were frequently used instead of doors. The entrances of the tabernacle had curtains kjv@Exodus:26:31-33, 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 ( kjv@1Corinthians:16:9; kjv@2Corinthians:2:12; kjv@Colossians:4:3). Our Lord says of himself, "I am the door" kjv@John:10:9). John kjv@Revelation:4:1) speaks of a "door opened in heaven."
