The Hebrew word for ‘hill’ is aphel and means ‘to be lifted up.’ The Ophel, the place between the City of David and the Temple was the place where the Levitical priests lived when doing their service. It was on the way ‘to go up to the Temple’ for worship.
"Your eyes will see Jerusalem: A tent which will not be folded; its stakes will never be pulled up" (Isaiah 33:20).
