- 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 ; Proverbs 3:15 ; 8:11 20:15 31:10 Lamentations 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 ; Revelation 21:20
- a carbuncle
- {Bareketh,} from {barak,} to lighten, glitter, a very elegant gem, of a deep red colour, with a mixture of scarlet.
- Isaiah 54:11 Isaiah 54:12
