Arona Threshing Floor

י"ב בתמוז תשס"ז

An interesting connection between two significant words, "aron" and "threshing" which fell out of my recent Celtic tarot and Hebrew letter card readings, respectively - if I join the two words derived from the two readings together, I get Arona Threshing floor. Of the Arona Threshing floor:

Maimonides writes: "The location of the Altar [in the Holy Temple] is very exactly defined... It is a commonly-held tradition that the place where David and Solomon built the Altar on the threshing floor of Arona, is the very place where Abraham built an altar and bound Isaac upon it; this is where Noah built [an altar] when he came out from the Ark; this is where Cain and Abel brought their offerings; this is where Adam the First Man offered a korban when he was created -- and it is from [the earth of] this place that he was created...."
