You can see the temple courtyards clearly. This was the inner court, which was restricted to Israelite men only. The colonnaded walkways to the left are what were known as "Solomon's Porch" The colonnaded walkways provided cover, as well as meeting spaces. All Jews were allowed in the Court of the Women. Only Gentiles were restricted from it. This low wall separated the Court of the Gentiles from the Court of the Women. There were a number of covered areas in the courtyards. You can see the epic scale of the retaining walls constructed by Herod. The Temple guards and the on-duty priests had residences within the walls. The "House of God" is really a building inside the Temple complex. Herod's building was constructed to the dimensions given for Solomon's temple. http://unorthodoxfaith.com/2013/03/22/his-house-friday-2/ http://unorthodoxfaith.com/2013/03/22/his-house-friday-2/#comments Fri, 22 Mar 2013 11:21:20 +0000 Erik http://unorthodoxfaith.com/?p=3526 ]]> http://unorthodoxfaith.com/2013/03/22/his-house-friday-2/feed/ 0 Erik http://unorthodoxfaith.com/2013/03/21/his-house-thursday-2/ http://unorthodoxfaith.com/2013/03/21/his-house-thursday-2/#comments Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:20:37 +0000 Erik http://unorthodoxfaith.com/?p=3523 ]]> http://unorthodoxfaith.com/2013/03/21/his-house-thursday-2/feed/ 0 Erik http://unorthodoxfaith.com/2013/03/20/his-house-wednesday-2/ http://unorthodoxfaith.com/2013/03/20/his-house-wednesday-2/#comments Wed, 20 Mar 2013 11:19:55 +0000 Erik http://unorthodoxfaith.com/?p=3521 ]]> http://unorthodoxfaith.com/2013/03/20/his-house-wednesday-2/feed/ 0 Erik
