'Building' in the Bible

They are like a person building a house, who dug a deep hole to lay the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the floodwaters pushed against that house but couldn't shake it, because it had been founded on the rock.

So you are witnesses and approve of the deeds of your ancestors, because they killed those for whom you are building monuments.

Otherwise, if he lays a foundation and can't finish the building, everyone who watches will begin to ridicule him

and say, "This person started a building but couldn't finish it.'

So it was in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
