To answer this question, we need to recall the story of the dedication of Solomon’s Temple.
In response to Solomon’s prayer, God’s glory filled the newly built and dedicated Temple in Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 6-7). While there are also other words for glory in Jewish tradition, the phrase used in this particular text is Kavod Adonai. This word for Glory also means honor and is connected with the general idea of being “heavy”. The verb is LeKabed to honor, therefore, carries the idea of making something heavy vs. making something light.
The opposite word is leKalon that is connected with the word “light” (kal) and is used in Biblical Hebrew in connection to shame and dishonor. (Making light of something, and therefore devoid of glory).
Today I invite you to symbolically enter the Temple of the Hebrew Bible through a new gateway.
