However, the concept of precious stones is present in the Greek New Testament, such as in the description of the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:19-21), though these passages do not directly correspond to the Hebrew term Shoham. Usage: The term "Shoham" is used in the context of describing a precious stone that was part of the High Priest's breastplate and other sacred items. It is mentioned in the context of the construction of the Tabernacle and the adornment of sacred garments. Context: Shoham is a term used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a precious stone, traditionally identified as onyx. It is notably mentioned in the context of the High Priest's breastplate, where it was one of the stones set in the ephod (Exodus 28:9-12, 20; 39:6, 13). The Shoham stone was engraved with the names of the tribes of Israel, serving as a memorial for the sons of Israel. The stone is also mentioned in the description of the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:12) and in the construction of the Tabernacle (Exodus 25:7; 35:9, 27). The exact identification of Shoham has been debated, with some scholars suggesting it may refer to onyx, beryl, or another similar gemstone. Its significance lies in its use in sacred contexts, symbolizing beauty, value, and divine remembrance.
