One notable example from the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) is the instruction to build altars and create memorial heaps of stones. Examples in Scripture - Altars: Throughout the Old Testament, figures such as Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob built altars out of natural, uncut stones to worship God, mark a significant event, or seal a covenant (e.g., Genesis 12:7, Exodus 20:24-25). These were often temporary or permanent structures made of earth and fieldstones. - Heaps of Stones (Galeed): In Genesis 31:45-52, Jacob and Laban create a large heap of stones as a witness (a form of enduring, natural marker) to their covenant. This could be interpreted as a form of earthwork or land art with symbolic meaning. - Twelve Stones from the Jordan River: In the Book of Joshua, after the Israelites cross the Jordan River on dry ground, Joshua instructs men to take twelve stones from the riverbed and set them up as a permanent memorial at Gilgal. This served as a physical, natural landmark to remind future generations of God's miraculous intervention - (Joshua 4:1-9).
