On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

But such an account is given of this gate's being shut as puts honour, 1. It is for the honour of him that the gate of the inner court, at which his glory entered when he took possession of the house, was ever after kept shut, and no man was allowed to enter in by it,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Drink wine - Or any other strong liquor, when they go either to trim the lamps or set the shew-bread in order, or to offer incense in the temple, or when they go to the altar to offer a sacrifice, which stood in the inner court.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical

The Lord - That glory which was the visible sign of his presence. He - The king might sit before the Lord, others might not. Bread - That part of the sacrifice, which was allowed to the offerer.
