It is typically used in poetic and metaphorical contexts to describe something of great worth and beauty. Context: פָז (paz) appears in several key passages within the Hebrew Scriptures, emphasizing the preciousness and desirability of pure gold. In Job 28:17, it is used to compare wisdom's value, stating, "Gold and glass cannot equal it, nor can it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold." This highlights the incomparable worth of wisdom over even the most refined gold. In Psalm 19:10, the psalmist declares, "They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb," referring to the laws and decrees of the Lord, thus illustrating their supreme value and desirability.
