It shrinks to match the other side. Making it oblong is a helping tool for the EA because 1) He hasn't masted W, S, or B to make his own Sq. 2) The EA is working on the large stones, he needs a larger square to do his work. 3.) The Master's square is used to check work. This means the attention to fine detail will require a smaller square and if he needs a large square for the task he make make one. 345

The left side is the weaker and as we develop and grow as masons, the left side strengthens and equals out to the right .......

More than you might ever what to know...
moriya - nf3-127
MORIYA is from the Hebrew, meaning GOD IS MY TEACHER (Kolatch, Alfred J. 1984. The Complete Dictionary of English and Hebrew First Names. Middle Village: Jonathan David. 380). MORIYA is from the Hebrew MORAH , Mem Vav Resh Yud Hey, meaning TEACHER, SCHOOL TEACHER, MASATER, INSTRUCTOR, EDUCATOR, TUTOR (Alcalay, R. The Complete Hebrew English Dictionary. Jerusalem: Massada. 1243). and YAH meaning GOD (Alcalay, R. The Complete Hebrew English Dictionary. Jerusalem: Massada. 911).
MORIAH is an Anglicized spelling. Variant spellings - MORIA, MORIYAH
Hebrew Bible name - Moriah was the name of the mountain where Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac (Genesis 22: 2).
Miriam was the sister of Moses and Aaron (Numbers 26:59).
When a daughter of Pharaoh found the infant Moses in the reeds, it was Miriam who suggested to the princess that she could find a wet nurse for the child and brought her mother to the palace (Exodus 2:5-10).
It was Miriam the prophet who led the people across the Red Sea with singing and dancing (Exodus 15:20).
The LORD [YAH] is my strength and song (Exodus 15:2).
And he said, For the hand is on the throne of Jah [YAH] Exodus 17:16
Biblical research - “The structure of the menorah itself is very similar to the Israeli Moriah plant or salvia palaestina, an attractive plant with four branches on either side that emerge from a central stem. Lit with olive oil, the menorah in Israel not only marked a military victory, it was a celebration of the natural world of Israel, the moriah, the almond, the olive tree, at a time when most plants lie dormant. The light offered from this candelabrum in combination with its plant imagery, took the onlooker away from the blight of winter to a warm, sunny, plant-filled place in the imagination” (Moriah plant).

Thank you for sharing that. I found it very interesting. I happen to like salvia (it's a beautiful plant), olives, and almonds. I wonder if there is a connection there...LOL
I don't want to push off topic, but I have a question; Would you be willing to explain what "Yud" is for those who may not know? ( I may be confusing this with Yod), If so, please excuse me. I'm having a brain fart at the moment. I'm sure Bro. Winter could also add some light to the subject. If need be, I'll wait for the appropriate time to address this.
