In Exodus 28:18 and Exodus 39:11, the masculine singular absolute form names an item in the second row alongside other stones; the APB renders each row with “emerald, sapphire, and jasper.” In Ezekiel 27:16 it occurs among goods given in trade, and in Ezekiel 28:13 among the precious stones described as a covering.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all four verses, the APB presents the term as “emerald” within lists of stones or valuable goods. This identifies the verse-level presentation rather than proving a precise word-for-word correspondence.
