By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
(Ecclesiastes 10:18) KJV
One of our Hebrew gravity concepts occurs in the context of a house so neglected that the roof falls in. The root that the word foundation is derived from is makon. The establishment of a foundation and sinking down are derived from the same root.
