In biblical contexts, it often pertains to objects or structures that have been meticulously crafted, such as altars, idols, or tombs.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient times, the skill of carving stone or wood was highly valued, as it required precision and artistry. Hewn stones were commonly used in construction, particularly in significant buildings like temples and tombs. The process of carving was labor-intensive and symbolized human effort and craftsmanship. In a biblical context, hewn stones could also represent human attempts to create objects of worship, which were often contrasted with the unhewn stones commanded by God for altars, emphasizing divine creation over human artistry.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from a comp. of laas (a stone) and xeó (to scrape)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>hewn (in stone)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cut into the rock (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2991: λαξευτός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">λαξευτός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">λαξευτη</span>, <span class="greek2">λαξευτον</span> (from <span class="greek2">λαξεύω</span>, and this from <span class="greek2">λᾶς</span> a stone, and <span class="greek2">ξέω</span> to polish, hew), <span class="accented">cut out of stone</span>: <span class="greek2">μνῆμα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/luke/23-53.htm">Luke 23:53</a>, and thence in Evang.
