The meaning of Rock in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)

(Heb. tsur), employed as a symbol of God in the Old Testament (I Samuel 2:2; 2Sam 22:3; Isaiah 17:10; Psalms 28:1; 31:2,3; 89:26; 95:1); also in the New Testament (Matthew 16:18; Romans 9:33; I Corinthians 10:4). In Daniel 2:45 the Chaldaic form of the Hebrew word is translated "mountain." It ought to be translated "rock," as in Habakkuk 1:12 in the Revised Version. The "rock" from which the stone is cut there signifies the divine origin of Christ. (See STONE .)
