Boyd’s Bible Dictionary
:
(
bar
). A bar of
wood
or metal for outer, and bolt for inner, doors (1 Kings 4:13; Judg. 3:24).
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
These in
the
East
were anciently very rude contrivances.
They
were made
of
wood
with
long
wooden bolts into which were driven a few pins which dropped into holes and held the bolt secure. The
key
,
also
of wood with corresponding pins, would raise the pins of the bolt, and allow it to be shot back ({vi 6592-6593}Judg. 3:23-24; {vi 12331-12343}Neh. 3:3-15; Song of Sol. 5:5).
