Heaps are mentioned in various contexts throughout the Bible, symbolizing both physical and metaphorical concepts. Old Testament References 1. Heap of Stones: In the Old Testament, heaps of stones were frequently used as memorials or markers. For instance, in <a href="/joshua/7-26.htm">Joshua 7:26</a> , after the sin of Achan was dealt with, "they raised over him a large heap of stones that remains to this day." This heap served as a lasting reminder of the consequences of disobedience to God. 2. Heap of Grain: Heaps of grain often symbolize abundance and blessing. In <a href="/proverbs/3-9.htm">Proverbs 3:9-10</a> , it is written, "Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your harvest; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine." The imagery of overflowing barns suggests heaps of grain, indicating prosperity as a result of faithfulness to God. 3. Heap as Judgment: Heaps can also represent judgment or destruction. In <a href="/jeremiah/9-11.htm">Jeremiah 9:11</a> , God declares, "I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, a haunt for jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant." Here, the heap signifies the complete devastation that comes as a result of the people's unfaithfulness. New Testament References While the New Testament does not frequently use the term "heap" in the same literal sense as the Old Testament, the concept can be seen metaphorically. For example, in <a href="/romans/12-20.htm">Romans 12:20</a> , Paul writes, "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head." This metaphorical use of "heap" suggests a moral or spiritual impact, where acts of kindness lead to conviction and potential repentance. Symbolic and Theological Implications In a broader theological context, heaps can symbolize the accumulation of actions, whether good or bad, and their resulting consequences. The Bible often uses physical imagery to convey spiritual truths, and heaps serve as a vivid representation of both God's blessings and His judgments. Cultural and Historical Context In ancient Near Eastern cultures, heaps of stones or other materials were common as boundary markers, memorials, or altars. The biblical use of heaps reflects these cultural practices, providing a tangible connection between the physical world and spiritual realities. Overall, the concept of a heap in the Bible serves as a multifaceted symbol, illustrating themes of memory, abundance, judgment, and moral consequence.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>When Joshua took the city of Ai (<a href="/context/joshua/8.htm">Joshua 8</a>), he burned it and "made it an heap [Hebrews tel] for ever" (<a href="/joshua/8-28.htm">8:28</a>). The ruins of this city were for a long time sought for in vain. It has been at length, however, identified with the mound which simply bears the name of "Tel." "There are many Tels in modern Palestine, that land of Tels, each Tel with some other name attached to it to Mark the former site. But the site of Ai has no other name 'unto this day.' It is simply et-Tel, `the heap' par excellence." <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1. (n.)
