Senses in use

  1. Stone in lists of precious stones · dominant

    The singular absolute noun occurs in lists of stones. In Exodus 28:17 and Exodus 39:10, the APB renders the first row of a stone setting as including “sardius”; in Ezekiel 28:13, it renders the term among the precious stones described as a covering.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all three verses, the APB presents the term as “sardius” within lists of stones. This rendering is confirmed by the surrounding stone lists rather than by alignment alone.
