Mark 13:1

Stones. The spring - stones of the arches of the bridge which spanned the valley of Tyropoeon (the cheese - makers), and connected the ancient city of David with the royal porch of the temple, measured twenty - four feet in length by six in thickness. Yet these were by no means the largest in the masonry of the temple. Both at the southeastern and southwestern angles stones have been found measuring from twenty to forty feet long, and weighing above one hundred tons (Edersheim, " Temple ").
