Heap of Stones

Heap of Stones

A pile of stones (גל also means heap or mound).

("And they took Abshalom and threw him into the great pit in the forest and set upon him a very great heap of stones" - 2 Samuel 18:17, and also: But the voices are still not a melody, just as a heap of stones is not a house, and the Aleph-Bet is no longer the script and the writing! The voices are the body of the melody, and the body is not alive without a soul! And what is the soul of the melody? The soul of the melody is the heart of man—his love, his anger, his grace and kindness, his compassion and mercy - Y.L. Peretz / The Evolution of a Melody)
