It is used in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, including as a building material, a tool for judgment, a symbol of strength and permanence, and a metaphor for spiritual truths. Stones were integral to ancient life, serving both practical and symbolic purposes.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, stones were a fundamental part of daily life and religious practice. They were used to construct altars, memorials, and buildings, including the Temple in Jerusalem. Stones also held significant symbolic meaning, representing strength, stability, and the enduring nature of God's promises. The use of stones in covenants and as witnesses to agreements underscores their importance in the cultural and religious landscape of the time.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
