pit.dah denotes a precious stone named within gem settings, coverings, and a comparison with pure gold.

The term consistently denotes a precious stone: it is listed among stones in crafted settings and a covering, while Job 28:19 names it in a comparison concerning something beyond arrangement with pure gold.

   In Exodus 28:17 and Exodus 39:10, the feminine singular absolute form occurs in the first row of stones. In Ezekiel 28:13, the same form is included among every precious stone covering the figure addressed; in Job 28:19, the construct form occurs in the clause that the APB renders, "The topaz of Cush cannot be arranged for it."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB names the stone as "topaz" in all four verses, placing it in gem lists in Exodus 28:17, Exodus 39:10, and Ezekiel 28:13 and in the phrase "The topaz of Cush" in Job 28:19. These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than establish a finer distinction.
