SPECIAL OCCASIONS Church Building and Consecration 458. The Old Testament passages were understood by the rabbis to be Messianic, and were properly so applied by the New Testament writers. Isaiah 28:16 is quoted twice in the New Testament: Romans 9:33, from Septuagint combined with the words of Isaiah 8:14, and in 1 Peter 2:6, which is quoted with some variation from Septuagint. (3) New Testament passages.- Psalm 118:22 is quoted and interpreted as fulfilled in Jesus Christ in a number of passages: Matthew 21:42 Mark 12:10 Luke 20:17 Acts 4:11 and 1 Peter 2:7 it is also the evident basis for Ephesians 2:20.
It is probable that we should read in Psalm 144:12 not "corner-stones," but "corner-pillars," or supports (compare Greek Caryatides) from a different Hebrew word, zawith, Brown, Driver, and Briggs, Hebrew and English Lexicon of the Old Testament, under the word
The ancient tradition of the one missing stone, when the temple was in building, is reflected in or has been suggested by Psalm 118:22 (Midrash quoted by Pusey under Zechariah 4:7).

(a) the foundation-stone upon which the structure rested ( Job 38:6 Isaiah 28:16 Jeremiah 51:26) or While all the passages indicate the stone at the corner, there appear to be two conceptions: Derived from a root signifying "to turn," it means "turning," and therefore "edge" or "corner." Ordinarily it is used with 'ebhen, "stone" ( Psalm 118:22) or it may occur alone, having acquired for itself through frequent use the whole technical phrase-idea ( Zechariah 10:4 the King James Version).

This was one of many hideous rites and practices which Israel was to extirpate. Under this important stone of temples, or other great structures, bodies of children or older persons would be laid, consecrating the building by such human sacrifice (see FORTIFICATION, II, 1).

No doubt the original meaning was some important stone, which was laid at the foundation of a building.
