A row or course, especially of stones in a wall or building. Used in descriptions of Solomon's Temple construction, where rows of cedar and stone were carefully arranged. Each tur represents deliberate, ordered craftsmanship in building something sacred.
The tur — a single row of stones — reminds us that God's house is built one deliberate layer at a time. Solomon's Temple was constructed row by row, stone by stone, with no sound of hammer heard at the building site (1 Kings 6:7). This patient, ordered construction parallels how God builds His spiritual temple — His people — living stones being built up into a holy dwelling (1 Peter 2:5).
