The symbolism of the Jerusalem Temple was thoroughly idolatrous; as, for example, the twelve oxen upholding the laver, and the horns of the altar, symbols drawn from the prevalent bull-worship; the two columns in the court, and the cherubs, or cloud-dragons in the most holy place; the chamanim, or sun-images representing the rays of the sun in the shape of a cone, and the chariots and horses of the sun, a very ancient symbol familiar to us in Guido's Aurora.
'Strange altars, that is, those dedicated to other gods; 'high places, that is, where illegal sacrifice to Jehovah was offered; 'pillars, that is, stone columns; and 'Asherim, that is, trees or wooden poles, survivals of ancient stone- or tree-worship; 'sun-images, that is, probably, pillars consecrated to Baal as sun-god, were all swept away.
