    "temple of the great goddess Diana" (Acts 19:27).

    erected on the summit of Mount Moriah for the worship of God. It

    'house'] of the Lord" (2 Kings 11:10); "thy holy temple" (Ps.
    79:1); "the house of the Lord" (2 Chr. 23:5, 12); "the house of
    the God of Jacob" (Isa. 2:3); "the house of my glory" (60:7); an
    "house of prayer" (56:7; Matt. 21:13); "an house of sacrifice"
    (2 Chr. 7:12); "the house of their sanctuary" (2 Chr. 36:17);
    "the mountain of the Lord's house" (Isa. 2:2); "our holy and our
    beautiful house" (64:11); "the holy mount" (27:13); "the palace
    for the Lord God" (1 Chr. 29:1); "the tabernacle of witness" (2
