The Holy of Holies of a Temple in the Arad fortress. The Israelites were worshipping the LORD on their own terms. The small incense altar on the right corresponds with a small standing stone in the back. The same is true of the larger altar on the left. The large stone in the back (which you can't see here) probably represents the LORD, while the smaller stone in the back probably represents his consort or wife (probably Asherah). Isn't this exactly what the Bible says? The Israelites did what was right in their own eyes.
