In Old Testament times when the temple was built, the sound of a hammer, axe, or any tool of iron was not heard while it was being constructed (1 Kings 6:7).
Sa panahon ng Lumang Tipan nang ang templo ay itinatag, ang tunog ng martilyo, lagari, palakol, o anumang kasangkapan na bakal ay hindi narinig habang ito ay itinatayo (I Mga Hari 6:7)
