International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
OBELISK

ob'-e-lisk, ob'-el-isk: A sacred stone or matstsebhah. For matstsebhah 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, 2, etc.), but not consistently (e.g. Genesis 28:18).

See PILLAR.

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
1. (n.) An upright, four-sided pillar, gradually tapering as it rises, and terminating in a pyramid called pyramidion. It is ordinarily monolithic. Egyptian obelisks are commonly covered with hieroglyphic writing from top to bottom.

2. (n.) A mark of reference; -- called also dagger [/]. See Dagger.

3. (v. t.) To mark or designate with an obelisk.
