If The-Rock ("Ha-Tsur", הַצּ֖וּר ) == Uncut Stones ("Avanim Shelemot", אֲבָנִ֤ים שְׁלֵמוֹת֙ ) then Manoach (מָנוֹחַ) the Father of Shimshon (שִׁמְשׁ֑וֹן) in [Judges 13:19] observes Deuteronomy 27:6.

Uncut Stones ("Avanim Shelemot", אֲבָנִ֤ים שְׁלֵמוֹת֙ )

Deuteronomy 27:6 [MT] "You shall build the altar of YHVH, your God, out of uncut stones. And on it, you shall offer up burnt offerings to YHVH, your God." (אֲבָנִ֤ים שְׁלֵמוֹת֙ תִּבְנֶ֔ה אֶת־מִזְבַּ֖ח יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ וְהַֽעֲלִ֤יתָ עָלָיו֙ עוֹלֹ֔ת לַֽיהֹוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ )

The-Rock ("Ha-Tsur", הַצּ֖וּר )

"And Manoach took the kid goat and the-meal-offering and offered them up on The-Rock to YHVH; and a marvelous thing happened while Manoach and his wife looked on."
