Take even a one- or two-day trip through the Sinai or Negev deserts and you'll come across scores of them—standing stones erected in a variety of combinations. These stone installations may help us understand the very origins of Israelite religion.

They dot the landscape of the Bible's desert lands. The Hebrew Bible calls them masseboth (; singular, massebah), usually translated as "pillars" or "standing stones."
