PIN'NACLE
The word translated "pinnacle," Matt 4:5; Luke 4:9, signifies, not a summit, but a wing; and the part of the temple to which our Lord was taken by Satan was probably the elevation over the roof of Solomon's porch, to which there was a passage by stairs, and which overlooked the valley on the east, and had beneath a perpendicular depth of 600 or 700 feet, for at this part of the valley a wall had been The Eastern Pine. carried up to a level with the ground on which the temple stood (some historians say 750 feet).
