| Summary: | The article discusses the importance of the writing on the floors and discusses the Temple Mount Sifting Project that reassembled geometric patterns of opus sectile tiles that were found in at least covered porticoes and perhaps much more of the Temple. It offers a story that tells that Jesus was in the Temple courts and "wrote" on the floor, readers often ignore this. It mentions that Mishnah Sotah 9.9 tells that the use of the ritual was halted during the time of Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai. |
