Bible Quiz Stones Though the words “rock” and “stone” are often used interchangeably, there is a difference between them and there are separate Hebrew and Greek words for each. A rock is a mass containing stone and mineral matter. Rocks are formed by pressure and are found under the surface of the earth. They can be hard (metamorphic or igneous) or soft (sedimentary). Basically, you cannot move a rock because its mass is so large. Stones are made from rock. Stone is a non-metallic material and is always hard. Since stones are smaller, they are moveable. In Bible times, stones were commonly used for buildings (i.e. temple in Jerusalem - I Kgs. 6:1,36,37), and as memorials of important events (Gen. 28:18; Josh. 24:26,27; 1 Sam. 7:12). Stones were also used for grain mills and wine and olive presses (Deut. 24:6; Judg. 6:11; Mic. 6:15). They were gathered out of cultivated fields (Isa. 5:2; cf. 2 Kgs. 3:19).
