Solomon's temple
This is the model of the temple of Solomon,
which I bought from St. Petersburg (Russia). My wife and kids assembled
this model.
On the left is the Bronze Sea, which was held
up by twelve oxen. The Bronze Sea held about 109.000 litres of water. In
the Bronze Sea priests washed their feet and hands. The Bronze Sea was
about 14 feet high.
The temple had three floors and an upper
room.
The walls of the temple were surrounded by
side chambers, which functioned as the storage space for foods and the
vessels of the temple. The servants of the temple, who were the priests,
lived there too.
The two most important parts of the temple
were the Holy and the Most Holy. In the Holy were ten golden candlesticks,
which were on the right and left side of the wall. In the Holy were also
ten shewbread tables and the altar of incense.
