Beit HaMikdash

כלי המקדש

The sacred vessels

Each object begins as words in the Torah. Open one to see the verse, the geometry it describes, and the reconstruction.
Reconstruction: inside the gold-lined Heichal, a barefoot priest on the three-step stone tends the Menorah, seven lamps level on straight diagonal branches; the incense altar and the Table with two stacks of six loaves; a woven curtain at the far end.

Labels show each vessel's status in a future Temple.
