Figuratively (a) of spiritual blessings ( Ezekiel 47:12; compare Revelation 22:2 ) and prosperity ( Psalm 1:3 ); (b) of moral decay ( Isaiah 64:6 ), and (c) of a formal, empty profession ( Matthew 21:19 ). (2) To a book ( דּלת , deleth ), Jeremiah 36:23 (margin "columns"; see Jeremiah 36:2 ); as the parchment was gradually unfolded the successive columns could be read. (3) To doors ( צלע , cēlā‛ , "side," קלע , ḳelā‛ ,"a screen," "hanging"), 1 Kings 6:34 . The door of the Holy Place consisted of two halves, but each half had two leaves (compare Ezekiel 41:24 ).
