The KJV renders 8 different Hebrew and Greek words as “stone”
What it means
properly, a cliff (or sharp rock, as compressed); generally, a rock or boulder; figuratively, a refuge; also an edge (as precipitous)
or צֻר; from H6696 (צוּר);
How the KJV renders it
edge, rock, stone
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“stone”
also renders litházō (G3034), katalitházō (G2642), psēphos (G5586), lithoboléō (G3036), ʼeben (H69), ʼeshek (H810), pachad (H6344)
“rock”
Questions this word decides
- Is the Trinity explicitly taught in the Bible?
