The meaning of Obelisk in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)ob'-e-lisk, ob'-el-isk: A sacred stone or matstsebhah. For matstsebhah the Revised Version (British and American) has used "pillar" in the text, with "obelisk" in the margin in many instances (Exodus 23:24; Leviticus 26:1; Deuteronomy 12:3; I Kings 14:23; Hosea 3:4; Hosea 10:1-2, etc.), but not consistently (e.g. Genesis 28:18).
See PILLAR.
