Finger of Og

id: finger-of-og-253-524595
title: Finger of Og
text: The Finger of Og a huge stone pillar, sometimes called Herod's Pillar, which lies in front of the Russian Compound in Jerusalem. Its name is a reference to the giant Og, King of Bashan, as described in the Hebrew Bible. The column measures 12 m (39 ft) long and is thought to have been intended for use in either Herod's Temple, or the later Byzantine Nea Church. Its upper surface is partially dressed and the discovery of a flaw appears to be the reason it was abandoned and left in-situ.
