The Dividing Wall
In the New Testament period, there was a wall separating the Court of the Gentiles from the inner courts of the Temple.
First century BCE Greek inscription from Jerusalem’s Temple Mount forbidding the entry of Gentiles to the Temple precinct, reading “No foreigner may enter within the balustrade around the sanctuary and the enclosure. Whoever is caught, on himself shall he put blame for the death which will ensue.” (© The Israel Museum, Jerusalem)
