| Title: Reconstructing the magnificent temple Herod built Pages: 16-29 Type: Generic Year: 1988 Abstract: "Based on the description in Josephus and tractate Middot of the Mishnah a detailed reconstruction is given room by room with their measures and proportions. // Using m. Middot and Josephus War and Antiquities, the article seeks to reconstruct Herod's Temple in Jerusalem to a degree of detail never before achieved. After a scale-drawing of the Temple as a whole, it reconstructs each component: the outer facade and portico; the sanctuary facade and portal; the columns and the golden vine; the curtain, golden lamp, and tables; the sanctuary and the holy of holies; the cells; the stepped passageway and the water drain; the upper chamber; and the Temple roofs, the parapet, and the ""scarecrows."" - D.J.H."
