- Description
- Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "In the heart of the Judean plateau, fifteen miles from the Dead Sea on the west and twice as far from the Mediterranean, stands Jerusalem. It is built upon the two hills, Mt. Zion and Mt. Moriah. It was on Mt. Moriah that Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice. When David conquered the city he took it for his capital. He placed the tabernacle on Mt. Zion and though Solomen after-wards built the temple on Mt. Moriah the name of Zion was so incorporated into the Jewish language by means of the Psalms of David and of religious traditions that the name passed over to the temple mount. Solomen's palace was built on Mt. Zion and the palace was united with the temple by a wide bridge."
