摘要:The greatest portion of the Qumran document 11Q19, known as the Temple Scroll, presents the blueprint of the temple which the Sons of Israel are commanded to build when they enter the Promised Land. This command is given by God to his people in the context of the Sinai covenant. The temple plan is divided into two blocks by the Feast Calendar which is inserted after the prescriptions for the altar in col. 13. This part of the scroll ends in col. 29 with a rather unexpected conclusion that the temple described in the text in the future will be replaced by a new eternal temple created by God himself according to the covenant which he made with Jacob at Bethel. In this article its author makes a comparison between these two constructions calling them respectively the temporary and the eternal temple. The main conclusion of that comparison is that, despite the differences between the two temples, there is fundamental continuity between the time before and after the Day when God will create his temple. Namely, the eternal temple as well as the temporary one is the place of the communion between God and his people, the same one that is presented in the Temple Scroll.
