Because all Temple tax had to be in Tyre currency, the conversion of money was essential. This made the new profession created by the market system a powerful, lucrative and well-entrenched privilege. With this power and privilege came corruption. This is certainly plausible when their services were in such high demand and little substitutes could be found in the immediate area. With so many pilgrims desiring to worship inside the temple, the market took up the much-needed space for worshipers.
Space is an important component in the growth of any economic structure.
It must have room to expand in order to maintain profitability as well as have the capability to supply the high demand found within the market. Furthermore, the Gentiles that would worship in the Temple were neither bound by rabbinical law to perform sacrifices nor were they allowed into the inner courts where the sacrifices took place. Thus, indirectly, the sacrificial system had to be eradicated. In understanding the rise of the Temple market, it is essential that both the supply and the demand are identified and defined. The economic status of one desiring the atonement offering would dictate the animal sacrifice needed.
