For maccēbhāh the Revised Version (British and American) has used "pillar" in the text, with "obelisk" in the margin in many instances ( Exodus 23:24; Leviticus 26:1; Deuteronomy 12:3; 1 Kings 14:23; Hosea 3:4; Hosea 10:1 , Hosea 10:2 , etc.), but not consistently (e.g. Genesis 28:18 ). See PILLAR .
