Verse 22
22. The whole house he overlaid with gold That is, the whole interior of the holy place and the most holy was overlaid with gold, like the boards of the tabernacle. Exodus 26:29. The prominence given to the golden covering of the various parts of the temple not only shows the exceeding expensiveness of the building, but also points in symbol to the excellence and preciousness of the Church of the living God.
The whole altar The entire outside of the altar, top, sides, and horns, as specified in Exodus 30:3.
That was by the oracle The golden altar of incense was placed directly in front of the vail that concealed the oracle from view, (Exodus 30:6,) and so might be said to belong to the oracle. Compare note on 1 Kings 6:20.
