On The Tabernacle And Temple
And thus the Temple remained for about 416 years , making a period of about 900 years , including Tabernacle and Temple for the same form of a place of worship , when they were destroyed and taken away by Nebuzar-adon , the captain of the guard to the King of Babylon , as part of the spoils , ( see 2 Kings xxv . 13 , and Jer . Iii . 21—28 ) , which mention the dimensions .
The Temple was built on Mount Moriah , in Jerusalem , ( see 2 Chron . iii . 1 , 2 ) , and was begun in the fourth year of King Solomon , on the second day of the second month , ( see also 1 Kings vi . 1 ) , and completed in the eig hth month of the eleventh year ; consequently , it was seven years and six months building ; and in 1 Chron . xxii . 2 , it
is mentioned that Masons were employed to hew wrought stones to build it ; and , in 1 Kings v . 18 , stone squarers are mentioned . See also Josephus , where those who are capable of tracing Hebrew words will find other information . We have often heard it argued , on which side ofthe Temple thc pillars stood as regards the cardinal points We cannot
find it exactly mentioned in Scripture , but Josephus says the Temple fronted the East , and no doubt he is correct , as the Tabernacle did so ; and if so , as the priests entered the Temple they must have been looking Westward , their right hand to the North , their left to the South , and their back to the East ; and this , we think , is confirmed by
Scripture ; which , in 1 Kings vii . 39 , and 2 Chron . iv . 10 , says the sea was set on the right side of the East , and over against the South ; consequently , it must have been on the North side , which corresponds with the rig ht hand on entering a building from the East , and also corresponds with Josephus , who says , " he set five of the lavers on the left-hand side of the Temple , which faces the North ;" therefore Boaz would be on the South side , and Jachin on the North side .
For the places of casting , see I Kings vii . 46 , and 2 Chi-on . iv . 17 . The Temple , for some of its implements , thc sea , & c , had ornaments , or figures , of lions , bulls , and eagles , which were not in the Tabernacle . Was this the first step towards Israelitish idolatry ? LEGO .
