Temple Israel

The Hebrews had settled on the official understanding the Bible, or the Deuteronomic school, only one legitimate temple. First, the tent-temple which had accompanied the people since the appearance of God at Sinai and later located in Hebron, then was in Shiloh. At the time of Babylonian captivity, established itself among the Samaritans the sanctuary on Mount Gerizim near Shechem as a replacement for the destroyed Temple.

The tent-temple (tabernacle, tabernacle)

The tent-temple has many different names such as translations of the Bible Tabernacle or tent of meeting ". In the Bible he is called "tent of meeting." This temple was used by the Israelites during their wanderings in the wilderness and by the time of King David as a sanctuary. First, he was carried along on the walks, and later he was located in Shiloh, about half the land of Israel. After David had Jerusalem from the Jebusites (= people of the Middle East Canaanite tribe) conquered and made capital of Israel, he left the temple tent dorthin bringen. Später wurde es möglicherweise in zerlegter Form salomonischen Tempel aufbewahrt; spätestens mit der Zerstörung dieses Tempels ging es verloren.
Die Größenangaben sind in der Bibel in Ellen angegeben, deren heutige Entsprechung zwischen 45 cm und 52,5 cm liegen kann. Nach der biblischen Beschreibung war die Stiftshütte 30 Ellen lang, 10 Ellen hoch und 10 Ellen breit. Im Inneren befand sich das Allerheiligste Kodesh HaKodashim (קדש הקדשים wörtlich "das Heiligende der Heiligtümer"), wahrscheinlich ein Würfel mit 10 Ellen Kantenlänge. Daneben war das Heilige, das zweimal länger als breit war. Die Konstruktion bestand aus Fachwerkrahmen, welcher with gold plated acacia wood was made. That framework linen blankets were hanged, were embroidered on the colorful cherubs (winged mythical creatures in the Old Testament). The transition to the Holy Blessed with such a ceiling was screened, since only the high priest once a year on Yom Kippur (Jewish Day of Atonement =) was allowed to enter the Holy of Holies. On the linen Blankets were made of goat hair, it rams' skins dyed red blankets and blankets to finally seal skins (or Seekuhfellen, the exact translation of the Hebrew word is now tahasch not known).
At the entrance to the holy five were coated with gold Columns.
The tabernacle was surrounded by an outer court, which measured 100 by 50 cubits, and the outside she was surrounded by a 5 cubits high fence, which was held with copper pillars.
stood in the Holy of Holies on the ark (= containing the stone tablets with the Ten Commandments) two cherubim. The Saints were the golden candlestick, the golden altar of incense, the table of showbread and gold devices. In the courtyard stood the altar of burnt offering and a copper basin, which was filled with water for washing the priest.
Some researchers argue that some details in the description of the tent-temple and its ceremonies in fact come from the later stone temple, and only later the tent-temple were settled.

The Solomonic Temple

The first permanent temple (Solomon's temple), construction of Solomon since 957 BC - 951 BC-ordination built on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem with the help of Phoenician builder was a stone building of 60 cubits long, 20 cubits wide and 30 cubits high, surrounded on three sides with side rooms, which, in three floors with each other, to preserve the treasures of the temple and equipment were used. The input side was preceded by a porch 10 cubits wide, what are two bronze columns Standen, Jachin and Boaz ("strength and power") who had no structural function, sondern den Eingang zur Vorhalle flankierten. Wie in der Antike üblich befand sich der Eingang im Osten und das Allerheiligste im Westen.
Das Innere enthielt einen 40 Ellen langen Vorderraum, das Heilige, worin die goldenen Leuchter, der Schaubrottisch und der Räucheraltar standen, und einen durch einen Vorhang davon geschiedenen quadratischen Hinterraum von 20 Ellen Länge, das Allerheiligste, mit der Bundeslade und den zwei großen Cherubim. Beide Räume waren an den Wänden, das Allerheiligste (Adyton) auch am Boden und an der Decke mit Holzwerk getäfelt. Der große Hauptaltar für die Brandopfer stand im Hof, vor dem Eingang des eigentlichen Tempels.
Man geht heute allgemein davon aus, dass das Heilige nur den Was accessible to priests, the Holy of Holies could only the High Priest once a year to enter the JomKippur.
The temple building was surrounded by an inner court of the priests with the altar of burnt offering, the purification tanks and other equipment, and that determined by colonnades with bronze gates of the people and for the outer court surrounded by a wall separated.

The Zerubbabel and the Temple of Herod

After Solomon's Temple was destroyed in 586 BC by Nebuchadnezzar II (= king of Babylon), rose in his place a few decades after the return of the Jews the Babylonian Captivity of the second, after Zerubbabel (governor of the province of Judah) designated the temple. Although he was probably built in the same place and in the rough, even after the plan of the first and completed 516 BC, but he was not as magnificent as its predecessor. The Holy of Holies was empty now, as the ark was no longer available. profaned by Antiochus IV Epiphanes (= king of the dynasty of the Seleucids) 169 BC, was the temple by Judas Maccabaeus (= Jewish freedom fighters of the 2nd century BC) restored and secured militarily.
Under Herod the Great began for 21 v.Chr.eine complete transformation of the temple in great scale in the Greek style (Hence the Herodian temple). This temple was long after Flavius Josephus (Jewish = commander) a stadium (between 185 to 200 m) and a stadium wide. In the Jewish-Roman war in 70, the temple was the last bulwark of the Jews and was finally destroyed. Some historians believe that the Jews themselves set fire to the temple to prevent its desecration. From the Wailing Wall is now thought that she was the only part of the Western Wall of Herod built the Temple Mount system.
on the Temple Mount was then first a Roman Temple of Jupiter, and then a Christian church. Under the Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate, there was an attempt of the Jewish temple to build again. He planned to rebuild 363 in Jerusalem, but this was then set aside in favor of the Persian campaign, and never realized. Page 691 stand on the temple site of the Islamic Dome of the Rock and 705/715 for the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Strictly Orthodox Jews do not enter the Temple Mount for fear that there unwittingly enter the holy of holies, where was the ark.

plans for new construction

For decades, there are plans for new construction of the temple. These will be promoted mainly by a small group of non-Sephardic rabbi, but by most of the Israeli population and important rabbis (= Jewish scribe) rejected. The new construction of the temple would require the demolition of the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
