10 Minute Topics: First Beit HaMikdash Video

The next in a weekly series of 10 minute topics teaching about various topics within Judaism. This week's topic is: First Beit HaMikdash.

The Beit HaMikdash (literally The Holy House) refers to the Holy Temple built in Jerusalem on the Har HaBayit (Temple Mount).

According to II Samuel 7, David desired to build a Temple for Hashem but was not permitted to do so. Later in the chapter, Hashem declares that it will be Solomon who will build the Temple. In I Chronicles 22, we see that David had already had a large supply of material for a Temple that he gave to Solomon and he purchases a thrashing-floor from Aravnah where the Temple was to be built.
