Question

What do you think the destruction of Solomons temple meant to the Israelites

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Inside this space rested the Ark of the Covenant, an ornate wooden box overlaid with gold. This was the most sacred relic in ancient Israelite religion. Inside of the Ark the Israelites kept the symbol of their covenant with Yahweh, the two tablets of the Ten Commandments, along with a pot of manna and Aaron's staff.
