What Does 1 Kings 7:50 Mean?
The list of pure gold continues: bowls, snuffers, basins, spoons, and censers, and even the hinges of gold for the doors of the inner sanctuary, the most holy place, and for the doors of the temple itself. Gold reached to the smallest fittings.
That even the door hinges were gold shows how nothing in God's house was counted too small for honor. The least and most hidden parts were given the same precious metal. So in the kingdom of God the small things are not despised; the humblest service, the unseen hinge upon which much turns, is precious in His sight and worthy of gold.
