* set in it settings of stones. Heb. fill in its fillings of
stone. the first row.
Eze 28:13 Re 21:19-21
* a sardius, or, ruby.
The Hebrew {odem,} from {adam,} to be red, ruddy, seems to
denote the ruby; as {adam} does in Persian a beautiful gem, of
a fine deep red colour, with a mixture of purple.
Job 28:18 Pr 3:15 8:11 20:15 31:10 La 4:7
* a topaz.
{Pitdah,} is constantly rendered by the LXX. [topazion,] and
Vulgate, {topazius,} with which agrees Josephus. The topaz is
a precious stone, of a pale, dead green, with a mixture of
yellow, sometimes of a fine yellow; and hence called
chrysolyte by the moderns, from its gold colour.
Job 28:19 Re 21:20
* a carbuncle.
{Bareketh,} from {barak,} to lighten, glitter, a very elegant
gem, of a deep red colour, with a mixture of scarlet.
