Hebron in the Temple

 

IN THE TEMPLE
 
 
In the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, Hebron was mentioned   prior to carrying out the daily sacrifice:
The watchman said: “The day broke!” Matia the son of Harash said: Has it risen in the east, over Hebron? And the watchman answered: ”Yes”...
In a later clarification of this passage ,the Rabbis asked : “What is the significance of the city of Hebron that it must be mentioned ? ” The response is: “To evoke the memory and merit of the Forefathers.” (Yerushalmi)
