Thus the Sogmatar inscription mentions a small omphalos stone, but it also mentions a seat. A Hindu lingam, basted with oils, in exactly the same fashion as Jacob's Pillar (Jacob's small conical stone).

So was Jacob venerating a Hindu lingam? Possibly, but since the Hindu lingam is often basted with a Minoan rhyton, it would appear that this ritual has travelled from west to east rather than vice versa. So the Syrian netsib and the Judaic matseb must have been small conical stones basted with oils. This ritual appears to be very similar to the anointing of Hindu lingams, which are also basted with oils in exactly the same fashion. The most famous matseb was the ‘pillar of Jacob’ that Jacob anointed with oils when he was at Haran in northern Syria, as narrated in Genesis 28:18. The latter is a term that refers to both a pillar and to a small pyramid (a small conical stone, an omphalos stone). Now this is interesting, for it implies that the Edessan netsib bun 'pillar' was the same as a Judaic matseb-ah hbum. But Steven Ross in his analysis of Roman Edessa calls this same pillar a betyl-omphalos stone. But what does it mean? The translation by Han Drijvers mentions a netsib bun 'pillar'.
