Where are the pyramids mentioned in the Bible? I just searched through several different versions in the youversion app, and find no mention of the word.

They're not. But the story of Joseph and the granaries is. I didn't mean to imply they were. Once I thought I read in the OT God said, "I hate obelisks." I tried to find it again and never could so I must have imagined that.

I'm sorry you went to all that trouble. I'm tired and notice lately that my writing ability, if I ever had any, is slipping, can't find the right words for what I mean to say. I am seriously starting to forget words. Yesterday I couldn't think of this food so googled the ingredients, found it, now can't remember it again. Tried to make an association and forget that. Avacados, tomatoes, onions, lime juice, am not looking it up again tonight. I hate it when this happens.

but I still can type like a crazed woman even though I have to back up to correct typos and finally get fed up with that ;-(.

I'd better give this up for tonight. Lots of interesting news today, too much for one day.

“Where are the pyramids mentioned in the Bible?”

Its absolute bunk to think they were intended for the storage of grain,

However I do agree Isaiah Chapter 19 is a reference to the Pyramids and tells us a little more, if others don’t see it thats okay, I wouldn’t try to sell it

The word Giza translates as ‘border’ so if you went someplace in the ‘midst’ of and yet at the border in Egypt you might find yourself staring at these pillars,

Some scholars believe the capstone was never added, which reminds me of the verse where Jesus said ‘I am the headstone the builders rejected.’ So I tend to view it a monument in stone, an alter, a witness from a time long before Moses and until long after, lasting until the time of the end,

I visited many years ago and went inside, its very impressive and the absolute size of it is startling when your driving through Cairo looking for it in the haze and finally realize its silhouetted right in front of you taking up half the sky,

If it is mentioned in the Bible, then these are the verses I would point you at:

“In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord.

“And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the Lord because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.” Isaiah 19:19-20

“The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;” Psalm 118:22

“So this is what the Sovereign LORD says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic.” Isaiah 28:16

“Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: “’The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?” Matthew 21:42

“This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.” Acts 4:11
