The concept of heaps is used both literally and metaphorically throughout the Scriptures, illustrating themes of abundance, judgment, and remembrance.<br><br><b>Literal Usage</b><br><br>1. <b>Agricultural Abundance</b>: In the context of agricultural prosperity, heaps are often associated with the gathering of grain and produce. For example, in <a href="/2_chronicles/31-6.htm">2 Chronicles 31:6-7</a>, the Israelites brought in the firstfruits and tithes in great abundance, forming heaps: "The Israelites and Judahites living in the cities of Judah also brought a tenth of their herds and flocks, and a tenth of the holy things consecrated to the LORD their God, and they laid them in heaps. In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and they finished in the seventh month."<br><br>2. <b>Construction and Memorials</b>: Heaps of stones were frequently used as memorials or markers. In <a href="/joshua/7-26.htm">Joshua 7:26</a>, after the sin of Achan was dealt with, a heap of stones was raised over him: "And they raised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day. Then the LORD turned from His burning anger. Therefore that place is called the Valley of Achor to this day."<br><br>3. <b>Destruction and Judgment</b>: Heaps can also signify destruction, as seen in the aftermath of divine judgment. In <a href="/jeremiah/9-11.htm">Jeremiah 9:11</a>, God declares, "I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant."<br><br><b>Metaphorical Usage</b><br><br>1. <b>Symbol of Judgment</b>: Heaps are sometimes used metaphorically to describe the accumulation of sin or the impending judgment of God. In <a href="/hosea/12-11.htm">Hosea 12:11</a>, the prophet speaks of the altars of sin as heaps: "Is there iniquity in Gilead? Surely they are worthless. In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls; even their altars will be heaps in the furrows of the field."<br><br>2. <b>Expression of Vanity</b>: The Preacher in Ecclesiastes reflects on the futility of amassing wealth and possessions, which can be seen as forming heaps that ultimately do not satisfy. <a href="/ecclesiastes/2-26.htm">Ecclesiastes 2:26</a> states, "To the man who pleases Him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy, but to the sinner He gives the task of gathering and accumulating, only to hand it over to one who pleases God. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind."<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The imagery of heaps in the Bible serves as a powerful reminder of God's provision and judgment. Heaps of grain and produce symbolize divine blessing and abundance, while heaps of stones or ruins often signify judgment and the consequences of sin. The use of heaps as memorials underscores the importance of remembering God's acts and the lessons of history. Through these varied uses, the concept of heaps in Scripture invites reflection on the themes of abundance, accountability, and the enduring nature of God's covenant with His people.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/1554.htm"><span class="l">1554.
