All the splendor The Hebrew word for "splendor" is "הָדָר" (hadar), which conveys a sense of majesty, beauty, and glory. In the context of ancient Israel, this splendor refers to the glory and honor that Jerusalem once held as the center of worship and the dwelling place of God's presence. Historically, Jerusalem was renowned for its magnificent temple and vibrant culture.
