Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "bedolach" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific term related to Hebrew culture and geography. Usage: The term "bedolach" refers to a substance mentioned in the Bible, often identified as bdellium. Bdellium is a fragrant resin similar to myrrh, which was highly valued in ancient times for its aromatic properties. It is described in the Bible as having a white or transparent appearance, akin to a precious stone or pearl. Cultural and Historical Background: Bdellium was a valuable commodity in the ancient Near East, used in perfumes, incense, and possibly as a medicinal substance. It was traded extensively across regions, indicating its significance in ancient commerce.
