Sand
VIEW:14 DATA:01-04-2020
SAND.Minute particles of silex, mica, felspar, etc., easily rolled before the wind; hence, probably, its Heb. name, chôl. It lies in great stretches along the Palestinian and Egyptlan sea-boardan apt symbol of the incalculably vast or numerous (Gen_22:17; Gen_41:49, Jer_33:22 etc.). For sand, in Job_29:18, we should probably read, with RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] , phnix. However compact and firm, sand at once becomes soft at the touch of water (Mat_7:26 etc.).

(חול, ḥōl; ἄμμος, ámmos; a variant of the more usual ψάμαθος, psámmos; compare ἄμαθος, ámathos, ψάμαθος, psámathos):
Sand is principally produced by the grinding action of waves. This is accompanied by chemical solution, with the result that the more soluble constituents of the rock diminish in amount or disappear and the sands tend to become more or less purely silicious, silica or quartz being a common constituent of rocks and very Insoluble. The rocks of Palestine are so largely composed of limestone that the shore and dune sands are unusually calcareous, containing from 10 to 20 per cent of calcium carbonate. This is subject to solution and redeposition as a cement between the sand grains, binding them together to form the porous sandstone of the seashore, which is easily worked and is much used in building. See Rock, III, (2).
Figurative:
(1) Used most often as a symbol of countless multitude; especially of the children of Israel (Gen_22:17; Gen_32:12; 2Sa_17:11; 1Ki_4:20; Isa_10:22; Isa_48:19; Jer 33:32; Hos_1:10; Rom_9:27; Heb_11:12); also of the enemies of Israel (Jos_11:4; Jdg_7:12; 1Sa_13:5; compare Rev_20:8). Joseph laid up gram as the sand of the sea (Gen_41:49); God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding and largeness of heart as the sand that is on the seashore (1Ki_4:29); Job says ?I shall multiply my days as the sand? (Job_29:18); the multitude of quails provided for the Israelites in the desert is compared to the sand (Psa_78:27); the Psalmist says of the thoughts of God, ?They are more in number than the sand? (Psa_139:18); Jeremiah, speaking of the desolation of Jerusalem, says that the number of widows is as the sand (Jer_15:8). (2) Sand is also a symbol of weight (Job_6:3; Pro_27:3), and (3) of instability (Mat_7:26).
It is a question what is meant by ?the hidden treasures of the sand? in Deu_33:19.

Gen_22:17 (a) This refers to the prevalence of Israel all over the world, as sand is found all over the world. The nation of Israel is compared not only to sand, but also to dust and to the stars. (See under these words). (See also Gen_32:12; Heb_11:12).
Deu_33:19 (b) Probably sand is used to convey the thought of a multitude of people throughout the earth from whose enterprise, property and business Zebulon and Issachar would become rich.
Jdg_7:12 (a) Here is a type of the very great multitude of the enemy in the army. The enemies were so numerous that they covered the hills, the valleys, the roads and the fields as sand covers all those places. (See also 1Sa_13:5; 2Sa_17:11; 1Ki_4:20; Isa_10:22; Isa_48:19; Jer_15:8; Jer_33:22).
Psa_139:18 (a) This is a description of the great number of GOD's wonderful thoughts of peace and love toward David. In His mind they were as numerous as the grains of sand.
Hos_1:10 (a) This represents the great number of people of Israel and their diversified beauty as the grains of sand. Also represents their power to control the nations of the world (the sea and its waves), as will one day be true when Israel is the head of the nations. Only GOD can make sand, and GOD Himself made the nation of Israel.
Mat_7:26 (b) This is a picture of the transient and unsafe character of anything outside of CHRIST on which men may build their hopes and plans for the future.
Rev_20:8 (a) This is a type of the countless number of the unsaved, and their prevalence all over the earth. It is also a picture of the shifting and shiftless character of the ungodly.

Sand
(חוֹל, chol, from its tendency to slide or roll; ἄμμος). A similitude taken from the aggregate sand of the sea is often used to express a very great multitude or a very great weight; or from a single sand, something very mean and trifling. God promises Abraham and Jacob to multiply their posterity as the stars of heaven and as the sand of the sea (Gen_22:17; Gen_32:12). Job (6:3) compares the weight of his misfortunes to that of the sand of the sea. Solomon says (Pro_27:3) that though sand and gravel are very heavy things, yet the anger of a fool is much heavier. Ecclesiasticus says that a fool is more insupportable than the weight of sand, lead, or iron (Sir_22:15). The prophets magnify the omnipotence of God, who has fixed the sand of the shore for the boundaries of the sea, and has said to it, Hitherto shalt thou come; but here thou shalt break thy foaming waves, and shalt pass no farther (Jer_5:22). Our Savior tells us (Mat_7:26) that a fool lays the foundation of his house on the sand; whereas a wise man founds his house on a rock. Ecclesiasticus says (18:8) that the years of the longest life of man are but as a drop of water or as a grain of sand. Wisdom says (7:9) that all the gold in the world, compared to wisdom, is but as the smallest grain of sand. SEE DUST.
