-
It's over.
-
What now?
-
I thought we might finally have some peace.
-
Well, our Emperor has departed.
-
But he has left a present for Jerusalem.
-
In fact, it is specifically for the High Priest.
-
Oh?
-
A statue of his likeness.
-
Which he commands to be placed in the temple itself.
-
As a reminder, if you wish, of his divinity and his power.
-
A graven image would defile the temple
-
and break one of our most sacred commandments.
