Was listening to an early Dec. ep. of C2C last night.
The 2nd half guest was Jonathan Grey, the topic was the Arc of the Covenant.
This turned out to be the 1 out 50 episodes that I decided was "worth listening to again".
Here's a link TO the actual episodes, btw.

When I read "yield", my automatic interpretation was "yeah - it gives power - ok". ("Keystone" also makes me think "flying buttress". And that's just silly.)
Decided to chill while folks did their connotation thang.
… As in, both absorb and redistribute the tension/weight of a structure to stabilize the whole.
Thus giving power to each stone in a structure. :)
