Expansion of Solomon's Temple: Herod's Renovations and the East Gate

Herod's renovations of Solomon's Temple marked a significant expansion of the sacred complex, doubling its size. While he undertook extensive modifications, he found the east gate too beautiful to replace, ultimately deciding to preserve it. Instead of altering the gate, Herod extended Solomon’s east wall northward and southward, preserving the aesthetics of the original design while enhancing the temple's grandeur. This balance of preservation and expansion showcases Herod's commitment to the legacy of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem.
