Key Information
The Porch and Stairs
Learning Point
- The Porch was the area that allowed access into the Holy, and was once thought to be very tall.
- An updated understanding in 2024 showed that it was likely a lot lower, which is what we’re doing in our class.
- Two copper pillars stood on either side, called Boaz and Jachin.
