Und Salomo zog die Tochter des Pharao aus der Stadt David in das Haus, das er für sie gebaut hatte; denn er sagte:'Keine Frau von mir soll im Haus Davids, des Königs von Israel, wohnen, weil die Orte heilig sind, zu denen die Lade des HERRN gekommen ist.'
Mishneh Torah, Prayer and the Priestly Blessing
Villagers who desire to sell their synagogue, in order to erect with the proceeds another synagogue or purchase a Tebah or a scroll of the law, should stipulate with the purchaser that he is not to turn it into a bathhouse, tannery, ritual bath or laundry. If, at the time of the sale, the seven leaders of the community (forming the Executive), at a meeting of the residents, passed a resolution that the purchaser should be permitted to do any of the above things, it is permitted.
