Senses in use

  1. Gemstone in the third row · dominant

    In Exodus 28:19, the singular absolute noun occurs in the clause naming the third row; the APB renders the row as "jacinth, agate, and amethyst." Exodus 39:12 repeats the same singular form in the corresponding third-row list, which the APB renders "jacinth, agate, and amethyst."

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Exodus 28:19 and Exodus 39:12, the APB presents the item within the identical third-row list, "jacinth, agate, and amethyst." The precise correspondence is supported by the listed position rather than English alignment alone.
