The act of building is often associated with divine instruction, human endeavor, and the establishment of sacred spaces. Old Testament The Old Testament provides numerous accounts of building projects that hold significant theological and historical importance. One of the earliest mentions is the construction of the Tower of Babel in <a href="/genesis/11-4.htm">Genesis 11:4</a>, where humanity's attempt to build a city and a tower "with its top in the heavens" led to divine intervention and the scattering of peoples. This narrative underscores themes of human pride and the limits of human achievement without divine approval. The construction of the Ark by Noah, as detailed in <a href="/genesis/6-14.htm">Genesis 6:14-16</a>, represents obedience to God's command and serves as a means of salvation. The Ark's specifications were divinely ordained, highlighting the importance of following God's instructions in building endeavors. The building of the Tabernacle, described in <a href="/bsb/exodus/25.htm">Exodus 25-31</a>, was a pivotal moment for the Israelites. God provided Moses with detailed plans for this portable sanctuary, emphasizing the need for holiness and precision in creating a dwelling place for God's presence among His people. The materials and craftsmanship involved were of the highest quality, symbolizing the reverence due to God. Solomon's Temple, constructed in <a href="/bsb/1_kings/6.htm">1 Kings 6-7</a>, stands as a monumental achievement in Israel's history. Built on Mount Moriah, the Temple was a permanent dwelling for the Ark of the Covenant and a central place of worship. The grandeur and splendor of the Temple reflected God's majesty and the centrality of worship in the life of Israel. New Testament In the New Testament, the concept of building takes on a more spiritual dimension. Jesus Christ is often referred to as the cornerstone, the essential foundation upon which the Church is built. In <a href="/matthew/16-18.htm">Matthew 16:18</a>, Jesus declares, "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it." This statement emphasizes the establishment of the Church as a divine institution, with Christ as its foundation. The Apostle Paul frequently uses building imagery to describe the growth and development of the Christian community. In <a href="/1_corinthians/3-9.htm">1 Corinthians 3:9-11</a>, Paul writes, "For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building. By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ." Here, the emphasis is on the careful and faithful construction of the spiritual community, with Christ as the cornerstone. <a href="/ephesians/2-19.htm">Ephesians 2:19-22</a> further elaborates on this theme: "Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone. In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord. And in Him you too are being built together into a dwelling place for God in His Spirit." This passage highlights the unity and growth of believers as a spiritual edifice, a living temple for God's presence. Metaphorical and Spiritual Implications The act of building in the Bible often serves as a metaphor for spiritual growth and the development of faith. Believers are encouraged to build their lives on the solid foundation of Christ's teachings, as illustrated in the parable of the wise and foolish builders in <a href="/matthew/7-24.htm">Matthew 7:24-27</a>. Those who hear and act on Jesus' words are likened to a wise man who built his house on the rock, able to withstand the storms of life. In summary, the theme of building in the Bible encompasses both the physical construction of sacred spaces and the spiritual edification of individuals and communities. It underscores the importance of divine guidance, obedience, and the centrality of Christ as the foundation of faith.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Among the Jews was suited to the climate and conditions of the country.

Phoenician artists (<a href="/2_samuel/5-11.htm">2 Samuel 5:11</a>; <a href="/1_kings/5-6.htm">1 Kings 5:6</a>, 18) assisted at the erection of the royal palace and the temple at Jerusalem. Foreigners also assisted at the restoration of the temple after the Exile (<a href="/ezra/3-7.htm">Ezra 3:7</a>).In <a href="/genesis/11-3.htm">Genesis 11:3</a>, 9, we have the first recorded instance of the erection of buildings. The cities of the plain of Shinar were founded by the descendants of Shem (<a href="/genesis/10-11.htm">10:11</a>, 12, 22).The Israelites were by occupation shepherds and dwellers in tents (<a href="/genesis/47-3.htm">Genesis 47:3</a>); but from the time of their entering Canaan they became dwellers in towns, and in houses built of the native limestone of Palestine. Much building was carried on in Solomon's time. Besides the buildings he completed at Jerusalem, he also built Baalath and Tadmor (<a href="/1_kings/9-15.htm">1 Kings 9:15</a>, 24). Many of the kings of Israel and Judah were engaged in erecting various buildings.Herod and his sons and successors restored the temple, and built fortifications and other structures of great magnificence in Jerusalem (<a href="/luke/21-5.htm">Luke 21:5</a>).The instruments used in building are mentioned as the plumb-line (<a href="/amos/7-7.htm">Amos 7:7</a>), the measuring-reed (<a href="/ezekiel/40-3.htm">Ezek. 40:3</a>), and the saw (<a href="/1_kings/7-9.htm">1 Kings 7:9</a>).Believers are "God's building" (<a href="/1_corinthians/3-9.htm">1 Corinthians 3:9</a>); and heaven is called "a building of God" (<a href="/2_corinthians/5-1.htm">2 Corinthians 5:1</a>). Christ is the only foundation of his church (<a href="/1_corinthians/3-10.htm">1 Corinthians 3:10</a>-12), of which he also is the builder (<a href="/matthew/16-18.htm">Matthew 16:18</a>). <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

Building Conditions: The building conditions existing at the time of the Hebrew conquest were rude and untutored, and, with the exception of the work of the Solomonic period, there was still little or no effort made to introduce a higher state, until the time when Greek influence began to be felt (circa 3rd century B.C.). In localities where stone was not available, mud bricks were used, and their perishable nature being realized, stone slab facing came into use. These slabs were a protection against the weather and had no constructive value. Probably the hand of the "jerry" builder can be seen in an attempt to make such bad construction appear to be solid stone. 2. Masonry: In stone localities buildings were of stone, but the class of building was only that of the rude stone waller. Random rubble masonry, unskillfully laid, was the prevailing characteristic. Occasionally a piece of carefully dressed masonry is found, but it is the exception and is often a re-use of an earlier type akin to "sawed stone" (<a href="/1_kings/7-9.htm">1 Kings 7:9</a>). The remains of Jewish walls of the period of the early kings in Jerusalem show skill which does not appear to have existed elsewhere. The boss and margin stones, with wide mud joint, were, in part, the actual masonry of the early fortifications, and were re-used and imitated over and over again. The type crops up in feeble imitation at different sites throughout the country, but hammer-picked and rough hammer-dressed stones are also common. The fine comb pick and marginal dressing of the walls of the Temple area belong to the Herodian period (see Bliss and Dickie, "Excavations at Jerusalem," 273, PEFS, 1898). The absence of lime is a striking characteristic. There is no distinctive type which can be named exclusively Jewish, although there is good reason for believing that the boss and margin type has a Jewish origin. Wilson (Golgotha, 124) points out that the projecting bosses had a defensive value, in breaking the force of the battering-ram, and here again the necessity of defense shows its vitality in the existence of such a well-engineered detail. The absence of the finer qualities of building craft can be traced to the same source. 3. Foundations: Foundations of fortifications were usually on rock which was sometimes squared for a bed, but more often leveled up with small stones. A portion of the South wall of Jerusalem, certainly late (5th century A.D.), was laid on a foundation of small rubble resting on debris, accumulated over an earlier wall. (See <a href="../p/plate.htm">Plate IV, Excavations at Jerusalem, p</a>. 29.) In smaller buildings, the foundations were usually laid on the debris of earlier structures. At Lachish mud brick walls were laid on a foundation of stone. A peculiar method of spreading a layer of sand under the foundations was also noted (see A Mound of Many Cities, 125-26). 4. Modern Methods: The native wall of today is less rudely built and is bedded in lime mortar. It is a broad wall usually about 3 ft. thick, with inner and outer faces of large stones, filled in between with small rubble without proper bond, somewhat in the manner of ancient building. To make up for the want of bond, it is a common habit to insert a piece of steel joint across the return angle (see BEAM). The building and hewing methods, in all probability, are the same as they were in early Jewish times. Hewers sit at their work, with the plane of the stone on which they operate, lying obliquely from them. Stones are conveyed from the quarry, if at a distance from the building site, on donkeys, thence on men's backs to the top of the wall, by rude gangways. Every man digs his "own cistern" (<a href="/isaiah/36-16.htm">Isaiah 36:16</a>), which is sunk in the rock under the site of the house, and used as a quarry from which stones for the building are supplied. If water is scarce, the cistern is sunk first, and the winter rains are allowed to collect and provide the necessary water for the building. 5. Figurative: To build up is often used in the sense of giving increase and prosperity, or of stablishing and strengthening. Thus in <a href="/job/22-23.htm">Job 22:23</a> <a href="/psalms/69-35.htm">Psalm 69:35</a> <a href="/jeremiah/18-9.htm">Jeremiah 18:9</a>. A kindred sense is to restore what was decayed, as in <a href="/isaiah/58-12.htm">Isaiah 58:12</a>. To "build an house" for a person is to grant him children or a numerous posterity (<a href="/ruth/4-11.htm">Ruth 4:11</a>; of David, <a href="/2_samuel/7-27.htm">2 Samuel 7:27</a> <a href="/1_chronicles/17-10.htm">1 Chronicles 17:10</a>). Spiritually, the word is used of one's work in life, or of the formation of character and habits. The main thing here is the foundation. Those who build on Christ's word build on rock; those who reject this word build on sand (<a href="/matthew/7-24.htm">Matthew 7:24-27</a>). Christ is the sole true foundation; the work which a man builds on this will be tried by fire (<a href="/1_corinthians/3-9.htm">1 Corinthians 3:9-15</a>). The church is compared to a building (<a href="/1_corinthians/3-9.htm">1 Corinthians 3:9</a> <a href="/1_peter/2-4.htm">1 Peter 2:4-6</a>) reared on the foundation of apostles and prophets (their truths or teaching), Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner-stone (<a href="/ephesians/2-20.htm">Ephesians 2:20-22</a>). Believers are "builded up" in Christ (<a href="/colossians/2-7.htm">Colossians 2:7</a>), and are exhorted to build themselves up on their most holy faith (<a href="/jude/1-20.htm">Jude 1:20</a>).
