In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it is most frequently used to describe the Temple in Jerusalem, the central place of worship for the Israelites. It can also refer to royal palaces or other grand structures.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The concept of a "hekal" is deeply rooted in the ancient Near Eastern tradition of constructing grand edifices for both religious and royal purposes. The Temple in Jerusalem, often referred to as "hekal," was the focal point of Jewish worship and the dwelling place of God's presence among His people. Solomon's Temple, in particular, was renowned for its grandeur and served as a symbol of Israel's covenant relationship with God. The term also reflects the broader cultural practice of building palaces for kings, emphasizing the authority and majesty of the ruler.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
