Pool of Bethesda - Version 1.2

cults3d

This is one of the many models to be developed for a larger project. It was designed based on available pictures so there MIGHT be some inaccuracy. I have also made some minor alterations to the design to make it a little easier to print but overall this design is a replica of the 1st century Pool of Bethesda from Jerusalem. Because this is a part of a larger project, I have chosen to list the design for sale at fraction of the cost of the final full project. According to the Gospel of John, the Pool of Bethesda was a swimming bath, and was located on the eastern side of the city near the Fortress of Antonia. The name of the pool is said to be derived from the Hebrew and/or Aramaic language. Beth hesda (בית חסד/חסדא), means either house of mercy or house of grace. In the 1st century BCE, natural caves to the east of the two pools were turned into small baths, as part of an asclepieion.
