Context: רָאמָה (ra'amah) appears in the Hebrew Bible as a term denoting coral, a substance highly prized in the ancient Near East for its beauty and rarity. Coral was often used in jewelry and ornamentation, symbolizing wealth and status. The reference to coral in the Bible underscores its value and desirability, akin to other precious materials like gold and pearls. In Job 28:18, the value of wisdom is compared to that of coral, emphasizing that wisdom surpasses even the most treasured earthly possessions: "Coral and crystal are unworthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies" (BSB). This comparison highlights the cultural and economic significance of coral in biblical times, serving as a metaphor for the incomparable worth of divine wisdom.
