Question

A ritual use of these objects may originate from a command that Kolymus the Miracle Worker gave after he revived a dead child on the Sabbath. The Jewish Encyclopedia entry on the ancient Semitic form of worship named for these objects analogizes the sacred Arab ones called anusb to Canaanite massebot. Explanations for a customary use of these objects pun on the Hebrew word for “bond” and a word for them that is used as a metaphor for God in the title of (*) “Ma’oz Tzur.” In the Book of Joshua, Gilgal is named after a set of twelve (-5[1])of these objects whose purpose mirrors that of one called Eben-Ezer (10[2])and the one that (10[1])Jacob anoints at Beth-El. (10[2])Jews (-5[1])traditionally use the left hand (-5[1])to place one (-5[1])of these objects rather than leaving flowers. (10[3])For 10 (10[1])points, (10[1])Levitical (10[1])law commanded for adulterers to be executed (10[1])by (10[1])pelting them (10[2])with what objects? (10[1])■END■ (10[4])

ANSWER: stones [or rocks; or pebbles; or massebot or matzevah before mentioned; or tzur before “Ma’oz Tzur” is read; or baetyl before “Beth-El” is read] (Kolymus asked for the community to “stone” his grave for breaking the Sabbath in the story from the first sentence, as told in the Sefer HaToda’ah. The pun in the third sentence is on the words “tzrur” and “tzur.”)
