House of Yahweh (Biblical term)
- House of Yahweh (Biblical term)
The 'House of Yahweh' (in Heb. 'Beth YHWH') was biblically the place that God chose to place His name there (Ex. 20:24; Deut. 12). God also stated that after the children of Israel had come into the 'Promised land' that He would chose one place out of all of the tribes to place His name there. It was there that all of the children of Israel in the Torah were commanded to bring their offerings and tithes in the appointed festivals.
Most modern religious scholars focus primarily upon the Temple that Solomon built in the 10th century. However, there has been archaeologically identified one Jewish inhabited structure in Elephantine, Egypt.
Also, in 1962 there was archaeologically uncovered by Yohanan Aharoni the only ever discovered 'House of Yahweh' in the land of Israel. The citadel sat on the upper hill of the area and was constructed in the time of King David and Solomon. Artifacts found within the sanctuary of the citadel mostly spoke concerning oil, wine, wheat, and etc. brought to there by numerous people from David and Solomon's time and throughout the reign of the kings of Judah til the kingdoms fall to Babylon.
