Explanation preview

This verse sits within the description of Solomon's building projects, where the narrator reports that the foundations were laid with large, costly stones, some ten cubits long and some eight cubits long. The Hebrew word for stone here is even, simply the ordinary term for stone, and the emphasis falls on size and expense rather than on any symbolic meaning.
