Solomon's Temple, also known as the First Temple, was, according to the Bible, the first Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.

It functioned as a religious focal point for worship and the sacrifices known as the korbanot in ancient Judaism. Completed in the 10th century BC, it was destroyed by the Babylon's in 586 BC. The reconstructed temple in Jerusalem, which stood between 516 BC and AD 70, was the Second Temple.

Hebrew Art- The Bible

Hebrew Bible is a term that refers to the common portions of the Jewish and Christian biblical canons. In its Latin form, Biblia Hebraica, traditionally serves as a title for printed editions of the masorectic text.
