Senses in use

  1. A precious stone in listed settings · dominant

    In Exodus 28:18 and Exodus 39:11, the masculine singular absolute form occurs in the second row alongside other named stones; the APB renders each row as containing “emerald, sapphire, and jasper.” In Ezekiel 28:13, the same singular form is included among “every precious stone” forming a covering; the APB again includes “jasper” in its stone list.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term within lists of named stones, using “jasper” in the second-row statements and within the covering of precious stones. Its specific correspondence to the Hebrew form cannot be isolated beyond the list context.
