In a footnote on Lamentations 1:10, the note reads (in part): <br /><br />"Two Greek words have customarily been translated 'temple' in the New Testament. One (<i>hieron</i>) always means the temple enclosure (the porches, courts, chambers, and the like); the other word (<i>naos</i>) means the sanctuary proper—the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies—into which none but the authorized priests might go, and then only at stated times. But now [in Lamentations 1:10], Jeremiah says, the forbidden heathen nations enter the very Holy of Holies for plunder! Nothing more humiliating could happen for a Jew than this."Jonathan Perreaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03701064430800312710noreply@blogger.com
