The Stumbling Stone
This theme of the stumbling stone is a bit cryptic, but it’s one of the favorite motifs of all the Biblical authors.
Paul uses it here, and it is seen in the writings of Moses, David, Solomon, Isaiah, all the gospel writers, and multiple times in Paul, and Peter uses it as well.
Paul’s exact quotation here seems to be a conflated quote from Isaiah 8, and Isaiah 28, with a veiled allusion to Psalm 118 as well.
