Did Jesus descend on the Temple in the Earliest Gospel?

Post by Giuseppe »

A strong suspicion in such sense is that "Hermon" is the place where the Temple had to be built in Jerusalem:

Psalm 133:3
It is as if the dew of Hermon
were falling on Mount Zion.
For there the Lord bestows his blessing,
even life forevermore

...whereas ἔρημον (accusative for wilderness in Greek) sounds similar to Hermon.

Jesus could be descended on the Temple and the descent was translated in Greek as a descent on the wilderness.
