Jerusalem was the place which
the Lord had chosen out of ail the
tnbea to put his ntuue there (Dent.
12:5). It wad the "city of God,"
the ''city of the Great Kin&" whose
gates he loved more than ali tbe
dwellings of Jacob. And within its
oistorc walls is situated Mt. Mori
au, tbe mofct meruoiable spot on
earth, and the only place honored ot
God, through long ages as the "hab
itation of his holiness,7' where as
is generally believed Melehisidek,
King of Salem, otlicia'ted as priest
ot the most high God," and the
place where Abraham reared his
altar for the saculice of his only
son.
Mount Moriah is seperated from
Mt. Zion on the west by the Tyro
psan valley and from Mt. Olivet on
tbe east by the brook Kediou, which
tiows through the va'ley of Jehoso
ptiat. Leyoud doubt this is the
threshing floor of Arauuah, bought
by David cf Ornau the Jebasite,
and where he offered his burnt of
ferings and peace offerings uuto the
Lord when the destroying augej
stood over the plague8tiickeu city.
On the summit of this mountain
King Solomon erected the first tem
ple ever built with hands, for the
worship ot Jehovuh. .Monah at
that time was very step, and so
small at the top as not to afford
suffic ent room for the sucred budd
ing and tne courts that were to be
connected with it A recent traveler
says that the rock tbat served as
the threshing floor ot Araunah, is
a huge irregular piece of natural
limestoue croppiug oat of the moun'
tain top, fifty te t in diameter and
sis leet above the pavement inclosed
with a railing tipped with gold lest
tbe polluted hand of mau should
touch it.
David was a man of war, and
shed blood abundantly, but peace
and prosperity crowned the closing
days of au eveuttul life. lie had it
in his heart to build a house for
God, but the word of the Lord came
unto him sayiug, "Thou sbalt not
build au house unto my name tie
cause thou hast made great wars
and shed much blood upos the earth
iu my sight.'' But God chose
his son Solomon to sit upon the
throne of Israel and build the tem.
pie, which, though David was never
ti see with his own eyes, became
the object of his unceasing aud
most lively interest. No care or
expense which might contribute
to its perfection seemed to him too
great to be incurred. Great, there.
fore, exceedingly, was the prepara
tion which he caused to be made for
this nd.
In his troubles he prepared for the
house of the Lord an hondred
tbousaud talents of gold, and a
thonsand thousand talents of silver,
and brass and iron without weight.
Onyx stones to bo set, glistening
stones and of divers colors, and all
manner of orecious stones, timber
also and etone, marble stones in
abundance. He left also of his owu
proper wealth three thousand tal
ents of the gold of Opbir and gevcu
thousaud of refined silver, to over
iay the walls of the sacred edifice
withal. Aud iu addition the chiefs
of the fathers stirred to pious liber
ality by the generosity of their
Jving willingly gave for the service
of the house of God, a large sura for
the Runio good design. Altogether,
therefore, the value of the materials
collected for the temple before D.v.
id's death was such aa almost to
mock calcalatiou the gold and sil
ver alone have been estimated to
weigh 1)2,000 pounds and to amount
to 039,290,087 sterling or 5SL546
210,45.00.
David also gave to Solomon the
exact plan according to whicu the
whole was to be nude. In this
David hiinselt was instructed ot
God, for the .Sacred house in which
the most high humbled himself ro
dwell was not itdt to be contrived
in any soit by iiuman wisdom. He
also committed the collected mate-
rials to his direction, told him he
miyht add thereto, bade him to be
faithful to his great and honorable
trust, arise and be doiug aud the
Lord be with thee.
And when Solomon succeeded to
the throne he wrote a letter to Hu
ram, King of Tyre, iuforming him
of his intention of building a great
house to God, aud asking him that
he send him a cunning worker iu
metals, also cedar trees out of Le
hauon for Hiram's servants were
skillful to cut timber. King Hiram
was greatly pleased at Solomon'
words and addressed him a conrat
nlatory letter in which he offered him
every assistant in hia power, aud
manifested a strong desire to parti-
1 ipate in the high honors then clus-
iering around the throne of Israel.
Aud sent him as a skillful artificer ,
a man named Hiram, who was also
of Tyre, aud a widow's sou of the
tribe of Nanthali, a man ot wisdom
and understanding aud skillful to
work in gold and in silver, in brass,
aud in iron, and iu timber, iu pur
pie and in blue, and in fine linen
Hud in crimsou, ah-o to grave any
manner of graving, and to find out
every device which shall be put to
him by the cunning meu of Solomon
or David. And King Solomon
raised a levy out of Israel so that
with Iiiram's servants there were
153,000 men at work, 70,000 bearers
of burdens, 80,000 hewers in the
mountains and o,300 which ruled
over tbe people that wrought in
the work.
From this outline of woikmeu
and supervision as taken from the
Holy Scriptures, tbe Master Mason
ciu readily see the author. ty for
'he Masonic teaching that there
were employed in building the
temple, three grand masters, 3,300
iverseers or masters of woik, 80,000
fellow crafts or hewers ou the
mountains or in the quarries aud
70,000 entered appi entices or bear
ers. According to masonic tradi
tions these were all so classed and
arranged by the wisdom of Solomon
aud Masouic act that neither envy,
discern or confusioa was suffered
to interrupt or disturb the peace
and good fellowship which prevailed
among the workmeu at this im-
portant period.
This famous fabric was begun iu
the fourth year of the reigu of Sol
omon, the third after the death of
David, in the year 1012 B'. C. aud
at the end of seven years it stood
complete in all its spleudor the
glory ot Jerusalem, the most mag-.
niticent edifice in the world.
The timbers were felled and pre
pared iu the forests of Lebanon,
conveyed th6uce by sea, iu floats, to
Joppa, where they we delivered to
King Solomon's woikmeu, thence
by laud to Jerusalem, and it is re
corded that the king made silver
and gold at Jeiusalem.as stones, aud
cedar trees made he, as the syca.
more trees that are in the vale for
abundance.
The temple proper does not ap
pear to have been so remarkable for
its magnitude as for the magnifi
cence ot its ornaments and the val
ue of its material. Couvertiug the
sacred standard of measure, the cu
bit, into feet, it was 105 feet long,
35 broad and 52 high, aud was
built of stone, which had been hewn
aud squared iu the quarries where
raised. It was divided into two
compartments, the Holy and Most
Holy Flace.
The Most Holy Place occupied
the west end of this space and was
a pertect cube of 35 fer, this he
ceded with cedar aud overlaid with
fine gold.
The Holy Place- whs 70 foet long,
35 wide and it is supposed the same
height the Holy of Holies tliUH
forming a double cube- This lie
ceiled with tlr tree and overlaid with
fine gold and set thereon palm trees
and chains. And he garnished the idle was six and the third was seven
house with precious stoues for beau cubit bro.td. The door ot the mid
ty and the gold was the gold of ParU'! chamber was in the right side of
vaim. the house aud they went up by
As the entire height of the inside winding stairs into ' he middle chain
wall was 52 teet tr s- thought the j br and out ot the middle chamber
unuer 17.4 teet constituted the u!- ;b' the third. The oraeln or moat
per chamber referred to m the de
scription of the temple which wns
overlaid with gold.
Iu fiont of the house was a porch
of the same width as the holy place
(35 feet) and 171 b et in depth. Its
height was 210 feet. This served as
a steeple to adorn it, gave the torn
pie much the appeal anc-1. of a tuod
ern church and was a place of shel .
ter and prayer to the serving priests.
This imposing tower was overlaid
with pare gold And he made two
pillars of brass IS cubits high a,
piece and on top of each stood a
chapiter 5 cubits high making
total height about 40 feet. These
were ornamented with net work, lily j
woik and pomegranates. These
pillows he set up iu the porch ot
the temple, aud he called the right I
pillar Jachin, deuotiug stability ;
aud the left pillar Boaz, deuoting
strength.
Passing across the porch, and be
tween Jachin and Boaz, the priests
enterred the first apartment of the
sanctuary, or Holy Place through
beautiful foidiug doers, covered with
gold fitted upon carved wort. In
this apartment were placed ten
golden candlesticks aud teu tables,
five of eech on the right aud five on
the left ; also the goideu altar of
iuceuse and sacred treasures.
Aud for the entering of the Holy
oMiolie8 he made doors of olive
tree, and he carved upon them
ciivings of cherubims, and palm
trees and open flowers, and overlaid
them with gold aud spread gold
upon the cherubim. And over tk-
door aud whole partition wall before
this Oracle or Most Holy Place where
God was consulted there was hung
a great vail of blue and purple, and
crimson, and fine linen with cueru
aims wrought thereon; aud he made
two chertiuims of oiive tree each ten
cuits high with wings tive cubits
lout', which he overlaid with gold.
Tue-e were placed iu the Holy of
Holies aud- when tuey were stood
up their wings touched the walls ot
ihe house and each other. Between
ibeir wiags was placed the ark of
the coveuaut which contained the
two tables of stone tbat presevred
the Gommandmeuls that God deliv
ered to Moses iu Mt. Sinai.
Aud when the temple was fiuisbed
it was covered with beams and
boards of cedar. And the house,
when it was iu budding was built
of stone made ready before it was
brought thither; so that there was
neither hammer nor axe nor any
tool of iron heard in tbe house
while it was in buildiug.
And Solomon ma.de all the ves
sels that were for tne House of God,
the golden altar also, and the tables
whereon the shew bread was set ;
moreover the candlesticks with their
lamps of pure gold , aud the flowers
aud the tongs made he of gold and
that pe'fect gold ; and the su offers
and the basins and the spoons and
the censers of pure gold. The hing
es of the doors, not only ot the most
Holy, but of the Holy place, were
of gold and the floors were laid with
plates of gold ; and Uie iuner walls
were ceiled with cedar entirely cov-
ered with plates of gold, adorned
with precious jewels of many splen
did colors ; aud the nails also which
fastened these plates were gold with
heads ol curious wo.kmauship. He
overlaid also the beams aud the
posts and tbe doors thereof with
gold. Iu 1 Kings, 0:22 it is stated
that he overlaid the whole bouse
with gold. And Josephus says he
lelt no part of tbe temple neither
internal nor external but fthat wa
covered with gold so that the whole
dazzled the eyes of such as eutered
by the splendor of the gold that was
upon every side.
And agaiust the walls ot the
house he built chambers both
against the walls of the temple and
the oracle. Narrowed rests were lelM
in the walls of the house lor this
purpose that the) beams should not
be fastened into the walls ot the
house. The uethetmost chamber
was five cu'eils broad and the mid.
JJoly place had no wnidoVN at dll,
bur, was perfectly dark, foi 'The
Lotd sai he would dwell in tin
thick daikne-ss.'' P.at above the
chambers in a sort ot clear story
were ihe. windows that lighted the
Holy phuv.- light atjaiust Ijght.
And Hit am made the two pil
lars and tbeii chapiters aud
the ornaments of net work,

bases and one tea and twelve oxen

the plains of Jordan were they cast

row of cedar beams Toward the
middle ot thi3 couitin trout of the
Sauctuary htood the great aitar ot
burnt offerings the huge brazen la
ver called a molten sea, aud the ten
lavers of smaller size.
He also built beyoud this court a
temple whose figure was that of a
quadraugle and erected lor it great
aud broad cloisters. These clositers
were buildings for the Ui-e of the
sanctuary. Some of them furnished
places for lodging for those who
were employed in tho sacred duties
of the place and others were used a-
depositories for vessels aud various
articles connected with the temple
service,
In oar Saviours time there was a
Court of the Gentilts without this.
Aud Jo?ephu3 in his description ot
King Soloman's temple sas there
was a court of ihe Geutiles that was
wondeifu! indeed and suca as ex
ceeds ali description in woids, and
is baldly Relieved up :i bight. For
when he bad filled up ureal valleys
with earth which o.i account ot lhcu
immense depths could not be looked
on when you bended down to see
them without piin. and elevated
iba giound four hundred cubits he
made H to bi? on level with the
top of tbe mountain on whic'i the
tempte was built. Fu-t. ot course,
was built up the btroog wall of
square stones and then the interven
ing space between the wall and
mountain was tilled up with carta, j
On this outer court stood a douoh'
row of cloisters. Tne roofs were ol
cedar and doors of polished silver.

er than this no one our a Jew was

court ot the Gentiles that markets
were kept for the ffale of sheep ami

into tne cour. oi imj rne-i.-, no

ei uuto them. Besides these no1
Israelite might even pass the rail
ing suiroundiug it, except when he
came forward solemnly to lay his
nands upon the head of a victim
that he offered for sacrifice, or to
kill it or to waive some pa-t of it be
foie tliH Lord.
Into the Oracle or awful Holy oJ
Holies no one was permitted to ou
ter but the high priest and that on
ly once a year on the day of the
atonement.
The inner court was a few cubits
higher than tha com t of tho Gen
tiles and the court ot the priests still
higher than the Court of the ciills
dreu o Israel. Tne different courts
were connected by gates some
of which were very beautiful and of
eui ions woi kiu'-inship.
At the present day th"n outer
wall wbi.di lnriosed tiio Courts of
t he Lord's house is still standing,
i:i;ide ot iinmenso stones, beautifully
levelled and laid in regular course
with the marks ot the Phoenician
masons upon them just, as they
were h.id by Hiram's builder:). A
recent writer says the wall is almost
a mile iu extent, mostly coveted
with debus, and snriounds au area
of about thirty-three acres. Each
course of stone drops back about
three inches. The lower course not
only rests upon the living rock, but
are anchored with lead and iron 10
the mountain itself ; ami thestoims
aud eaithpuakes ot centuries have
failed to move them from their firm
fouudatlous. The stones are ftom
ten to forty feet long, face tour to
ix ft. "and a depth somewhat great
er. And yet, these ponderous blocks
ate cut and fitted with so much
precision that after the lap-e of
twenty nine centuries it is almost
impossible to discern the seams
where they are joined together.
These stones were taken from quar
ries under the city and were broken
from their natural beds by wooden
wedges before the days of gunpow
der or modern appliances.
It is stated iu the Talmud that
the ark of the covenant stood upon
the stone of foundation which is the
solid rock and highest point of the
mountaiu projectiug slightly above
the Holy of Holies. David first
brought the ark of covenant to Mt.
Zion, and when it was removed to
tbe temp'e after its completion the
iMtne ot Zion was transferred with
it which accounts tor this mounta n
being frequently called Z on. Isaah
appears to refer to the same stone
1 a-the passage: "Behold I lay iu
Z-oo for a foundation a stone,
tried stone, a precious corner Monet
a siito foundation.' It is also iigu
r:'Uly applied to Christ who is
represented as the 'Kock o
Salvation"' and "chief Corner Sto-e."
Over Ihe Ttoptan vailex, K-iji
S d-.onau erected a beautiful stone
budge th at led directly fro.n the
Iloyal palace on Mr, Ziou to cue cf
the gates of the temple court. This
bridge was 350 ft. long and 50 w ide
