Pinnacle: A little wing,
(Matthew 4:5; Luke 4:9) On the southern side of the temple court
was a range of porches or cloisters forming three arcades. At the
south-eastern corner the roof of this cloister was some 300 feet
above the Kidron valley. The pinnacle, some parapet or wing-like
projection, was above this roof, and hence at a great height,
probably 350 feet or more above the valley.
