QUARRY.In the story of the slaughter of Eglon by Ehud (Jdg_3:1-31) we are told (Jdg_3:19) that Ehud turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, while after the assassination he escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries (Jdg_3:26). An alternative translation graven images is given in AVm [Note: Authorized Version margin.] and RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] , while other versions, e.g. LXX [Note: Septuagint.] and Vulg. [Note: Vulgate.] , read idols. The Heb. word pĕsîlîm is applied to images of gods in wood, stone, or metal (Deu_7:5; Deu_7:25; Deu_12:3, Isa_21:9; Isa_30:22, 2Ch_34:4). Moore suggests the translation sculptured stones (probably rude images). Probably the stones set up by Joshua to commemorate the crossing of the Jordan (Jos_4:1-24) are what is referred to.
Quarry occurs also in RV [Note: Revised Version.] of 1Ki_6:7. The stones used for the Temple building are said to have been prepared at the quarry. AV [Note: Authorized Version.] reads before it was brought thither, RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] when it was brought away. The translation quarry is probably correct.

Quarry
(פְּסַיל, pesil, but only in the plur.; Sept. γλυπτά', Vullg. idoll). In the account of the exploit of Ehud in Jdg_3:19; Jdg_3:26, for the quarries that were by Gilgal of our version, or, as the Syriac and the Chal dee read, stone-pits or quarries, the primary signification of images of false gods may be intended, as in Deu_7:25; Isa_42:8; Jer_8:19; Jer_51:52; Hos_11:12. etc.; and it is so understood by the Sept. and the Vulg. in the above text. We have no knowledge of any quarries at Gilgal, in the plain of Jericho; and Boothroyd conjectures that idols might have been erected at Gilgal by Eglon, and that the sight of them there inspired Elhud with new ardor to execute his purpose. Rosenmuller, after Rashi, adheres to the above interpretation of quarries, and in this Furst and Keil agree. The last-named interpreter remarks that the Gilgal intended cannot be the one near the Jordan, but that in the hills of Ephraim. SEE GILGAL. Gesenius regards Pesilim as the name of a place. Cassel, in Lange's Commentary, understands by it boundary-stones, i.e. termini, of an idolatrous form. That the ancient Canaanites had extensive quarries is evinced by the cyclopean blocks at the foundation of the temple at Baalbek (q.v.).
