SCRIPTURE
"a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;" — Ecclesiastes 3:5 (ASV)
Stones may be regarded either as materials for building, or as impediments to the fertility of land (see 2 Kings 3:19, 2 Kings 3:25; Isaiah 5:2).
