The fortress enclosed an area of almost 11 acres (45,000 m2).
It was 860' long and 470' wide, and defended by a steep slope to the north and a moat 20' deep and rampart on the other three sides.

We are the salt of the earth, the preservative.
Public prayer was short (evening sacrifice)
Private prayer was longer and another story.
