However, the Greek word "σμάραγδος" (smaragdos, Strong's G4665) is often used for "emerald" in the Septuagint and New Testament.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "nophek" refers to a precious stone mentioned in the Bible, often translated as "emerald" or "turquoise." It is one of the stones set in the breastplate of the High Priest, symbolizing beauty and value.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, gemstones were highly valued for their beauty and rarity. They were often used in religious and royal settings, symbolizing divine favor and authority. The breastplate of the High Priest, which included the nophek, was a sacred garment used in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple, representing the twelve tribes of Israel and serving as a means of divine communication.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>(a precious stone) perhaps emerald<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>emeralds (1), turquoise (3).<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">נֹ֫פֶךְ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a precious stone which Tyre gained by trade</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/27-16.htm">Ezekiel 27:16</a> (where <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">נ</font> doubted by Berthol, queried by Toy: Hpt), compare <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/28-13.htm">Ezekiel 28:13</a> (symbolic of wealth and honour of king of Tyre); in high priest's breastplate <a href="/interlinear/exodus/28-18.htm">Exodus 28:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/exodus/39-11.htm">Exodus 39:11</a>.
