The Place of the Hearth: The Four Chambers In the four corners of the Place of the Hearth there were four small chambers. The Chamber of the Approved Offerings,
in which six lambs that were found to be free of blemishes to be used in the Tamid service were kept. The Chamber of the Showbread
Makers was where the Showbread loaves were prepared. The Chamber of the Place of the Hearth was where the priests went down to the
Immersion Chamber. The Chamber of Seals
* was where individuals that came to the Mikdash to
bring an offering would purchase a seal showing the amount of libations they would need to bring along with their
offering. |
