-
stump
The part of a tree trunk left projecting from the ground after the rest has fallen or been felled
ExamplesIsaiah 6:13 “Yet there will still be a tenth portion in it, And it will again be subject to burning, Like a terebinth or an oak Whose stump remains when it is cut down. The holy seed is its stump.”
-
a memorial stone
A column usually made of a single stone, with or without inscriptions, used as the memorial of an event that had happened at the place where the stone stood
Examples2 Samuel 18:18 Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself a memorial stone, which is in the King’s Valley, for he said, “I have no son to continue my name.” So he named the memorial stone after his own name, and it is called Absalom’s Monument to this day.

Semantic domains 3 entries
- Trees001002007002
- This rarer form shares the same domain set as its more common cognate מַצֵּבָה, reflecting the traditional pairing of standing pillars with sacred trees at cultic sites, though this is not independently attested by this word's own sampled occurrences.
- Monuments001003002004
- מַצֶּבֶת denotes a memorial pillar or monument, illustrated at 2 Samuel 18:18 (Absalom "had taken and set up for himself a memorial stone... it is called Absalom's Monument to this day").
- Cult Objects001003001001006
- This entry carries no independent "Cult Objects" sense of its own; the genuine tagged occurrences (2 Samuel 18:18, Isaiah 6:13) concern a memorial monument and a tree stump, not a cultic object. The domain is bundle-shared with the identically-spelled cognate's cultic sense (מַצֵּבָה (matstsêbâh, H4676)); see מַצֵּבָה (matstsêbâh, H4676).
