Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, heaps or piles of stones were often used as markers or memorials. For example, stones were heaped up to commemorate significant events or to serve as a witness between parties.

Additionally, heaps of grain or other goods were indicative of wealth and provision, reflecting the agrarian lifestyle of the Israelites.
