In the biblical context, these structures were typically erected to commemorate significant events, divine encounters, or covenants. They served as tangible reminders of God's intervention, promises, or the faithfulness of His people.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, erecting pillars or monuments was a common practice to mark significant events or places. These structures were often inscribed with details of the event or the deity being honored. In the Hebrew Bible, matstsebeth is used to describe memorial stones set up by the patriarchs, such as Jacob, who erected a stone at Bethel to commemorate his vision of the ladder reaching to heaven (Genesis 28:18). These stones were not objects of worship but served as reminders of God's presence and promises.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/hebrew/4676.htm">matstsebah</a>, q.v.<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>pillar, substance <p>From <a href="/hebrew/5324.htm">natsab</a>;
