Bdellium is a fragrant resin similar to myrrh, which was highly valued in ancient times for its aromatic properties. It is described in the Bible as having a white or transparent appearance, akin to a precious stone or pearl.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Bdellium was a valuable commodity in the ancient Near East, used in perfumes, incense, and possibly as a medicinal substance. It was traded extensively across regions, indicating its significance in ancient commerce. The exact identification of bdellium is debated, with some scholars suggesting it could be a gum resin from certain trees found in Arabia, India, or Africa.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>probably bdellium<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bdellium (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">בְּדֹ֫לַח</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> probably <font size="+1"><b>bdellium</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ6</font> <img src="/bdbgif/bdb009505.gif">; <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <font class="hebrew2">בְּדוּלְחָא</font>; etymology dubious; Lag<sup>Ges.
