tested, tried, proven (as a foundation stone)
Isaiah 28:16 uses this noun to describe the cornerstone God lays in Zion as 'a tested stone' (אֶבֶן בֹּחַן). The term emphasizes proven quality and reliability, drawn from the practice of testing building materials before use. This isn't merely examination but successful passing of trials, making it suitable as a foundation. The messianic overtones of this 'tested stone' in Zion made it a crucial text for early Christian interpretation, seeing Christ as the proven, reliable foundation.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Isaiah's 'tested stone' (אֶבֶן בֹּחַן) in 28:16 refers to a cornerstone already proven fit for foundational use. Spanish 'probada' (proven), French 'éprouver' (to test), and English 'tested' all capture this sense of verification and approval. The word implies not just the act of testing but the successful result—a stone that has passed examination and is therefore trustworthy as the foundation of God's eschatological building in Zion. 1×
