It is a form of chalcedony, a variety of quartz, characterized by its parallel bands of color, typically black and white. In biblical contexts, onyx is often associated with wealth, craftsmanship, and divine instruction.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/genesis/2-12.htm">Genesis 2:12</a></b> · The first mention of onyx in the Bible is found in the description of the land of Havilah: "And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there." This reference highlights the natural abundance and value of onyx in the region, indicating its importance from the earliest times.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/exodus/25-7.htm">Exodus 25:7</a>; 28:9-12, 20; 35:9, 27; 39:6, 13</b> · Onyx stones were used in the construction of the Tabernacle, specifically in the garments of the High Priest. The ephod, a sacred vestment, featured two onyx stones on the shoulders, each engraved with the names of six tribes of Israel: "And you shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel" (<a href="/exodus/28-9.htm">Exodus 28:9</a>). These stones served as a memorial, symbolizing the High Priest's role in bearing the tribes before the Lord.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/1_chronicles/29-2.htm">1 Chronicles 29:2</a></b> · King David, in preparation for the building of the Temple, amassed a great quantity of materials, including onyx stones: "Now with all my ability I have made provision for the house of my God: gold for the gold articles, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron, and wood for the wood, as well as onyx for the settings, turquoise stones, stones of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and alabaster in abundance."<br><br>4. <b><a href="/job/28-16.htm">Job 28:16</a></b> · In the poetic discourse on wisdom, onyx is mentioned as a measure of wealth and value: "It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, in precious onyx or sapphire."<br><br>5. <b><a href="/ezekiel/28-13.htm">Ezekiel 28:13</a></b> · The prophet Ezekiel, in his lamentation over the King of Tyre, describes the king's adornment with precious stones, including onyx: "You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, and diamond; beryl, onyx, and jasper; sapphire, turquoise, and emerald. Your mountings and settings were crafted in gold, prepared on the day you were created."<br><br><b>Symbolism and Significance:</b><br><br>Onyx, in the biblical narrative, is often associated with divine craftsmanship and the beauty of God's creation. Its use in the High Priest's garments signifies the importance of remembrance and representation before God. The stone's inclusion in descriptions of wealth and beauty underscores its value and desirability in ancient cultures.<br><br>Theologically, onyx can be seen as a symbol of strength and endurance, reflecting the steadfastness required of God's people. Its presence in the Tabernacle and Temple preparations also points to the meticulous care and reverence required in worship and service to the Lord.<br><br>In summary, onyx holds a place of prominence in the biblical text, representing both material wealth and spiritual significance, woven into the fabric of Israel's history and worship practices.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Onyx</span><p>(<i>a nail</i>) is the translation of the Hebrew <i>shoham</i> ; but there is some doubt as to its signification. Some writers believe that the "beryl" is intended; but the balance of authority is in favor of some variety of the onyx. ("The onyx is not a transparent stone, but as the color of the flesh appears through the nail (Greek onyx) on the human body, so the reddish mass which is below shines delicately through the whitish surface of the onyx. There are several varieties. White and reddish stripes alternating form the sardonyx; white and reddish gray, the chalcedony.
