זוהר שמות — דף רנח ע”א

The First Temple corresponded to the supernal world and its mysteries were complete. Sins caused the expulsion of the mysteries toward the outer thighs. The Second Temple stood in outer chambers and taught from the Mishna, but lacked the same peace as the first where the King dwelled. The exile of Israel is measured by the length of the thighs to the feet, and at the end of exile He will stand on the Mount of Olives and impurity will pass away.
