However, similar concepts of precious stones and their symbolic meanings can be found in Greek terms related to gemstones and adornments in the New Testament. Usage: The word אֶקְדָּח appears in the context of describing precious stones, particularly those that are radiant or have a fiery appearance. Context: The Hebrew word אֶקְדָּח (ekdach) is used in the context of describing precious stones that are part of the high priest's breastplate or other significant adornments in the biblical text. The term is often translated as "carbuncle," a deep red gemstone that was highly valued in ancient times for its beauty and rarity. The carbuncle is noted for its fiery appearance, which aligns with the root meaning of the word, suggesting a glowing or burning quality. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to convey the splendor and divine craftsmanship of the items described. The use of such gemstones in biblical descriptions often symbolizes beauty, value, and divine favor.
