This term is used in the Old Testament in contexts such as the preparation of stones for Solomon's Temple (1 Kings 5:17).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The verb "latomeó" refers to the act of cutting or hewing stones, typically in the context of quarrying. It is used to describe the process of extracting stone from a quarry for construction purposes. This term is often associated with the preparation of materials for building, particularly in ancient times when stone was a primary construction material.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, stone was a crucial building material, used for constructing temples, city walls, and other significant structures. The process of quarrying was labor-intensive and required skilled laborers who could extract large blocks of stone without causing them to crack or break. The use of stone in construction was a sign of permanence and strength, reflecting the durability and stability of the structures built with it.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from a comp. of laas (a stone) and temnó (to cut)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to hew out (stones)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>hewn (2).<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 2998: λατομέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">λατομέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">λατόμω</span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐλατόμησα</span>; perfect passive participle <span class="greek2">λελατομημενος</span>; (from <span class="greek2">λατόμος</span> a stone-cutter, and this from <span class="greek2">λᾶς</span> a stone, and <span class="greek2">τέμνω</span>); <span class="accented">to cut stones, to hew out stones</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/27-60.htm">Matthew 27:60</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/15-46.htm">Mark 15:46</a>.
