Abstract

The ‘heavenly sanctuary/temple’ motif does not appear terminologically in the Hebrew Bible. But in the apocalyptic literature of the Pseudepigrapha and Qumran documents the motif is often explicitly described. It is evident that the extra-biblical Jewish literature uses the Hebrew Bible as the authoritative source when it develops a certain motif. In this intriguing circumstance this research aims to explore, by using the literary-synchronic analytical approach, which passages of the Hebrew Bible these literature depends on. Outcomes show that Exodus 25 and Isaiah 6 are used as the main biblical sources in relation to the present existence of the heavenly temple, and that Exodus 15:17, Ezekiel 1, 10, and 40-48 with regard to its eschatological and ideal function. Exodus 25 and Ezekiel 40-48 out of these texts function as the two most significant texts. It is finally revealed that Exodus and Ezekiel are the primary sources of the heavenly temple idea not only in the apocalyptic Jewish literature but also in the Qumran literature. The manner of the literary dependence of these literature on the Hebrew Bible is creative, using citation, enlargement, and synthesis.
