In the context of the Bible, it often describes the stones used in the building of sacred or significant structures, emphasizing the care and craftsmanship involved in their preparation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the use of hewn stones was a mark of skilled labor and was often reserved for important buildings, such as temples and palaces. The process of cutting and shaping stones required specialized knowledge and tools, reflecting the value and permanence of the structures they were used to create. The use of hewn stones in sacred architecture symbolized strength, durability, and the divine order.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from
