Abstract
Today's understanding of Judaism claims that Jerusalem
is always at the center of worship because of the Temple of Solomon and no
other place of worship has been accepted in any period. However, more than one
place of worship is encountered in the early Jewish history. These places of
worship, called high places (bamot in Hebrew), are places where all Israelites,
including their ancestors, judges and kings, worship at an early stage.
However, it is observed that after the exile of Babylon, people returned to
Jerusalem and they began to clamp together around the Temple. At this point,
these historical processes, which we have divided into five stages as Ancient
Israel, the separation of the Kingdom, the fall of the Kingdom of Northern
Israel, the Josiah’s reform and the exile of Babylon, will reveal the
transformation of the places of worship. In this context, as claimed, there is
no centrality of Jerusalem for worship in the early periods.

Abstract
Günümüz
Yahudilik anlayışı bize Süleyman Tapınağının dolayısıyla Kudüs’ün daima
merkezde olduğunu, hiçbir dönemde bundan başka bir ibadet yerinin kabul
edilmediğini iddia etmektedir. Fakat erken dönem Yahudi tarihine bakıldığı
takdirde birden fazla ibadet mekanları ile karşılaşılmaktadır. Yüksek yerler (İbranice bamot) adı verilen bu
ibadet mekanları erken dönemlerde atalar, hakimler ve krallar da dahil olmak
üzere tüm İsrailoğullarının ibadet ettikleri mekanlardır. Fakat Babil sürgünü
sonrasında insanlar Kudüs’e döndüler ve buradaki tapınak etrafında kenetlenmeye
başladılar. İşte bu noktada Kadim İsrail, Krallığın ikiye ayrılması, Kuzey
İsrail Krallığının yıkılması, Yoşiya’nın reformu ve Babil sürgünü sonrası
olarak beş aşamaya ayırdığımız bu tarihsel süreçler, ibadet yerlerinde
geçirilen dönüşümü gözler önüne serecektir. Bu bağlamda iddia edildiği gibi Kudüs’ün
ilk dönemlerde ibadet için bir merkeziliği söz konusu değildir.
