Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for "kadkod," as it is a specific Hebrew term. However, Greek words for precious stones, such as "ἄνθραξ" (anthrax) for "carbuncle" or "λίθος" (lithos) for "stone," may be used in similar contexts in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: The term "kadkod" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a precious stone, often translated as "ruby," "agate," or "carbuncle." It is used metaphorically to describe beauty, value, and splendor, often in the context of divine or eschatological imagery.

They were often used in jewelry, religious artifacts, and as symbols of wealth and status.
