Solomon

An example of a divine plan in Hebrew tradition is Noah's ark. A divine plan is simply a heavenly plan built on earth and, according to Hebrew tradition, Noah built his structure to "celestial specifications" that he received directly from the Hebrew deity.

The Jerusalem Temple is another instance of a Hebrew celestial blueprint.  In Hebrew tradition, Noah was the first, Moses was second, and David the third Hebrew figure to receive important plans from Yahweh.  But David was not permitted to erect his plan because his hands were stained by blood.  So the task of construction fell to his son, Solomon. 

Solomon's Temple, like most temples, follows the basic pattern of porch, hall, and shrine. On plan, the Jewish hall was a double-square 40 x 20 Hebrew cubits (compare the double square of the King's Chamber in the Great Pyramid). Its shrine, in contrast, was a perfect square 20 x 20 Hebrew cubits.

Externally, the entire temple measured (L x W x H) 60 x 20 x 30 Hebrew cubits. This means its hall measured 40 x 20 x 30 Hebrew cubits and, more significantly, its shrine was a cube 20 x 20 x 20 Hebrew cubits. This pattern later expanded to envelop the entire external form of Herod's temple.
