I am a Freemason. The story of Hiram abiff is a legend. Not real. Just a story made up to teach moral lessons

There are 3 references to men named Hiram in the KJV Bible. One is referred to as "the widow's son", and his home was in Tyre. In Masonic teaching this is the man commonly refered to as Hiram Abiff.
