In biblical contexts, "hewn" often describes stones or wood that have been crafted for construction or idol-making purposes. The act of hewing involves deliberate and skilled labor, indicating the importance or sacredness of the object being fashioned.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b>Construction and Altars:</b><br> In the Old Testament, hewn stones are frequently mentioned in the context of construction, particularly in the building of altars and temples. The use of hewn stones signifies human effort and craftsmanship. However, God commanded the Israelites to build altars of unhewn stones to avoid the influence of human pride and to maintain the purity of worship. In <a href="/exodus/20-25.htm">Exodus 20:25</a> , it is written, "Now if you make an altar of stones for Me, you must not build it with stones shaped by tools, for if you use a chisel on it, you will defile it."<br><br>2. <b>Idolatry:</b><br> Hewn wood and stones are also associated with idolatry in the Bible. The prophets often condemned the making of idols from hewn materials, as these objects were crafted by human hands and worshipped in place of the one true God. <a href="/isaiah/44-13.htm">Isaiah 44:13-15</a> illustrates this process: "The woodworker stretches a measuring line; he outlines it with a stylus; he shapes it with chisels and outlines it with a compass. He makes it in the form of a man, like a man in all his glory, that it may dwell in a shrine."<br><br>3. <b>Symbolism of Judgment:</b><br> The imagery of hewing is also used metaphorically to describe divine judgment. In <a href="/hosea/6-5.htm">Hosea 6:5</a> , God declares, "Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth, and My judgments go forth like lightning." Here, the act of hewing symbolizes the cutting and shaping of the people through prophetic words and divine judgment.<br><br>4. <b>Spiritual Lessons:</b><br> The concept of hewing can also be seen as a metaphor for spiritual refinement. Just as stones and wood are hewn to serve a purpose, believers are shaped and refined by God's hand to fulfill His divine will. This process involves removing impurities and crafting a life that reflects God's glory.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context:</b><br>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the skill of hewing was highly valued, as it required precision and expertise. The use of hewn materials in construction and idol-making reflects the technological advancements and artistic expressions of the time. However, the biblical narrative often contrasts human craftsmanship with divine creation, emphasizing the superiority of God's handiwork over human efforts.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br>The use of hewn materials in the Bible serves as a reminder of the tension between human achievement and divine command. While human skill is acknowledged, the biblical text often warns against the pride and idolatry that can accompany such achievements. The call to use unhewn stones for altars underscores the importance of humility and obedience in worship, pointing believers to rely on God's provision rather than their own capabilities.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
