'Foundation' in the Bible

And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, hewn stones, to lay the foundation of the house.

In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of Jehovah laid, in the month Zif;

All these buildings were of costly stones, hewn stones, according to the measures, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation to the coping, and on the outside as far as the great court.

In his days Hiel the Bethelite built Jericho; he laid its foundation in Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates in Segub his youngest, according to the word of Jehovah which he spoke through Joshua the son of Nun.
