adjective

«unhewn» in the English dictionary: in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## In Jewish tradition

The Torah commands that the altar be built of whole, uncut stones.

**Interpretation.** Tradition says iron, which makes weapons, must not touch the altar, which brings peace, so the stones stayed whole.
