It is a material derived from limestone, which, when heated, becomes a powdery substance used in building and agriculture. In biblical times, lime was an essential component for making mortar and plaster, serving as a binding agent in construction.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/isaiah/33-12.htm">Isaiah 33:12</a> :</b> "The peoples will be burned to ashes, like thorns cut down and set ablaze." This verse metaphorically describes the judgment of nations, likening their destruction to the burning of lime. The imagery of lime here emphasizes the thoroughness and intensity of divine judgment, as lime, when burned, becomes a fine, consuming powder.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/amos/2.htm">Amos 2:1</a> :</b> "This is what the LORD says: 'For three transgressions of Moab, even for four, I will not revoke My judgment, because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.'" In this passage, lime is associated with desecration and judgment. The act of burning bones to lime signifies a profound disrespect and serves as a basis for divine retribution against Moab. The transformation of bones into lime underscores the totality of the act and its irreversible nature.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/deuteronomy/27-2.htm">Deuteronomy 27:2-4</a> :</b> "And on the day you cross the Jordan into the land the LORD your God is giving you, you are to set up large stones and coat them with plaster." While lime is not explicitly mentioned, the plaster used to coat the stones likely contained lime as a key ingredient. This use of lime in plastering the stones for the writing of the Law signifies the permanence and visibility of God's commandments to His people.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Usage:</b><br><br>In the Bible, lime serves as a symbol of both construction and destruction. Its role in building materials highlights its importance in creating lasting structures, reflecting the stability and endurance of God's covenant with His people. Conversely, its association with burning and judgment illustrates the consuming nature of divine wrath against sin and rebellion.<br><br>Lime's dual symbolism can be seen as a reflection of God's character—both as a builder who establishes His kingdom and as a judge who purifies and refines through fire. The use of lime in biblical imagery serves to remind believers of the seriousness of sin and the steadfastness of God's promises.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context:</b><br><br>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, lime was a valuable resource for construction and agriculture. Its production involved heating limestone in kilns, a process that required significant labor and resources. The resulting lime was used not only in building but also in agriculture to improve soil quality.<br><br>The biblical references to lime would have been understood by the original audience as indicative of both practical and spiritual realities. The use of lime in construction would have been familiar to them, while its metaphorical use in judgment would have conveyed the severity and finality of God's actions.<br><br>Overall, lime in the Bible serves as a multifaceted symbol, representing both the constructive and destructive power of God in the lives of His people and the world.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Lime</span><p>the substance obtained form limestone, shells, etc., by heat.

It is translated "plaster" in <a href="/deuteronomy/27-2.htm">Deuteronomy 27:2</a>, "Thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster," also in <a href="/deuteronomy/27-4.htm">Deuteronomy 27:4</a>.

The lime-kiln is a thick-walled, cylindrical or conical, roofless structure built of rough stones without mortar, the spaces between the stones being plastered with clay. It is usually built on the side of a hill which is slightly excavated for it, so that the sloping, external wall of the kiln rises much higher from the ground on the lower side than on the upper. The builders leave a passage or tunnel through the base of the thick wall on the lower side. The whole interior is filled with carefully packed fragments of limestone, and large piles of thorny-burner and other shrubs to serve as fuel are gathered about the kiln. The fuel is introduced through the tunnel to the base of the limestone in the kiln, and as the fire rises through the mass of broken limestone a strong draft is created. Relays of men are kept busy supplying fuel day and night. By day a column of black smoke rises from the kiln, and at night the flames may be seen bursting from the top. Several days are required to reduce the stone to lime, the amount of time depending upon the size of the kiln and upon the nature of the fuel. At the present day, mineral coal imported from Europe is sometimes employed, and requires much less time than the shrubs which are ordinarily used.<br><br>See <a href="../c/chalkstone.htm">CHALKSTONE</a>; <a href="../c/clay.htm">CLAY</a>.<br><br>Alfred Ely Day<p><a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/2867.htm"><span class="l">2867. koniao -- to plaster over</span></a> <br><b>...</b> whiten, whitewash.
