tur denotes an ordered line or tier of items, whether stones, structural elements, or decorative figures.

The occurrences consistently describe items arranged in ordered lines or tiers: stones in a setting, pillars and beams in buildings, and repeated decorative figures around crafted objects. The same spatial arrangement is also described for the surrounding construction in Ezekiel 46:23.

    In Exodus 28:17, the supplied forms occur in the instruction for four ordered groupings of stones, and the APB renders the clause “four rows of stones.” In 1 Kings 7:2 the construct plural occurs with cedar pillars, while 1 Kings 7:24 and 2 Chronicles 4:3 describe two repeated lines of cast figures around the sea. Ezekiel 46:23 uses the singular construct in a surrounding architectural arrangement; the APB renders “a row surrounded them on all four sides.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the arrangement as “rows,” including rows of stones, pillars, pomegranates, gourds, and cattle; in 1 Kings 6:36 it uses “courses” for the stone-and-cedar construction. These English expressions reflect the verse contexts rather than a word-by-word alignment.
