In the context of the Bible, it is often associated with opulence and grandeur, used in the construction of palaces and temples. Marble's whiteness and ability to be polished to a high sheen made it a symbol of purity and strength.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient times, marble was a prized material for construction and decoration due to its aesthetic appeal and durability. It was commonly used in the architecture of significant buildings, including temples and palaces, throughout the ancient Near East and Mediterranean regions. The use of marble signified wealth and power, as it was a costly material to quarry and transport.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>perhaps of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>alabaster<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>alabaster (1).<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">שַׁ֫יִשׁ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>alabaster</b></font> (foreign word?
