Doors:
moved on pivots of wood fastened in sockets above and below (Pro 26:14). They were fastened by a lock (Jdg 3:23,25; Sgs 5:5) or by a bar (Jdg 16:3; Job 38:10). In the interior of Oriental houses, curtains were frequently used instead of doors.
The entrances of the tabernacle had curtains (Exd 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 (1Cr 16:9; 2Cr 2:12; Col 4:3). Our Lord says of himself, "I am the door" (Jhn 10:9). John (Rev 4:1) speaks of a "door opened in heaven."
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
