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 of these objects whose purpose mirrors that of one called Eben-Ezer and the one that Jacob anoints at Beth-El. Jews traditionally use the left hand to place one of these objects rather than leaving flowers. For 10 points, Levitical law commanded for adulterers to be executed by pelting them with what objects? ■END■
