Endnote 3 – Temple Architecture: What Can Archaeology Tell Us About Solomon’s Temple?

Ludwig Koehler and Walter Baumgartner, Lexicon in Veteris Testamenti Libros (Leiden, 1958), pp. 230–231; Th. A. Busink, Der Tempel von Jerusalem, I (Leiden, 1970), pp. 180–181. This double usage also occurs in Akkadian. In Akkadian, ekallu can mean either an entire building or its “main room” (Chicago Assyrian Dictionary E, 60; Wolfram von Soden, Akkadisches Handwörterbuch 1, 192).
