It was on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, the place provided by David, his father."- 2 Chronicles 3:1 The Jerusalem Temple Mount The Temple Mount is surrounded by four walls. The lower part of the walls dates all the way back to the time of the Second Temple. The Eastern Wall and part of the Southern Wall form part of the walls that are surrounding the Ancient City of Jerusalem today. The lower half of these two walls was built under the ground, completely surrounding Mount Moriah. The Temple with its walls was built in the First Century BCE. This was the site where both the First and Second Temples were built. The Western Wall continues to be a major place of prayer and worship for Jewish believers.
