This denominative verb means to coat or plaster stones with lime, appearing in Moses' instructions for the memorial stones at the Jordan crossing. Deuteronomy 27:2, 4 commands Israel to set up large stones, plaster them, and write God's law on them once they enter the land. Plastering created a smooth surface suitable for inscription and protected the stones from weathering. The practice of plastering stones for public inscriptions was common in the ancient Near East. Spanish revocar and French/English 'plaster' all denote applying a coating layer. This act combined practical preservation with ceremonial significance—creating a lasting monument to covenant law.
