This rare term denotes the uppermost part or summit of something. In its sole biblical appearance (Zechariah 4:7), it refers to the capstone or top stone of the rebuilt temple—the final, crowning piece placed with celebration. The multilingual evidence (English "the-top," Spanish "la-principal," French "le-sa-tête") captures both the literal height and the figurative importance of this culminating element. The prophet's vision emphasizes not human achievement but divine enablement: "Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit."
