Historical Note: It was on this site that The Temple (see Temples) was later built. The property was bought and paid for by David, king of the Israelites, and willingly sold by Araunah the Jebusite. David later made the property over to The God of Israel. There has never been a legal change of ownership of the Temple Mount.
