Pearls are often used metaphorically to represent something of great value or worth. The term is used to illustrate the incomparable value of the Kingdom of Heaven and the wisdom of discerning what is truly valuable.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, pearls were highly prized and considered symbols of wealth and status. They were often more valuable than gold and were sought after by the wealthy elite. Pearls were harvested from the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, and the Indian Ocean, making them rare and expensive. In Jewish culture, pearls were not as commonly referenced as in Greco-Roman contexts, but they were still recognized for their beauty and value.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a pearl<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>pearl (2), pearls (7).<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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3135: μαργαρίτης</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">μαργαρίτης</span></span>, <span class="greek2">μαργαρίτου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="accented">a pearl</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/13-45.htm">Matthew 13:45</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_timothy/2-9.htm">1 Timothy 2:9</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/17-4.htm">Revelation 17:4</a>; 18:(<BIBLE/VERSE_ONLY:Revelation 18:12>),<BIBLE/VERSE_ONLY:Revelation 18:16>; <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Revelation 21:21> (here <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> accent <span class="greek2">μαργαρῖται</span>, <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="greek2">μαργαρῖται</span> (cf. <span class="manuref">Tdf.</span> Proleg., p. 101)); <span class="greek2">τούς</span> <span class="greek2">μαργαρίτας</span> <span class="greek2">βάλλειν</span> <span class="greek2">ἔμπροσθεν</span> <span class="greek2">χοίρων</span>, a proverb, i. e. to thrust the most sacred and precious teachings of the gospel upon the most wicked and abandoned men (incompetent as they are, through their hostility to the gospel, to receive them), and thus to profane them, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/7-6.htm">Matthew 7:6</a> (cf. <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/3-15.htm">Proverbs 3:15</a>; <a href="/interlinear/job/28-18.htm">Job 28:18</a>f).<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>pearl. <p>From margaros (a pearl-oyster); a pearl -- pearl. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>μαργαριται μαργαρίται μαργαρῖται μαργαριταις μαργαρίταις μαργαριτας μαργαρίτας μαργαριτη μαργαρίτῃ μαργαριτην μαργαρίτην μαργαριτου μαργαρίτου μαργαριτων μαργαριτῶν margaritai margarîtai margaritais margarítais margaritas margarítas margarite margaritē margarítei margarítēi margariten margaritēn margaríten margarítēn margariton margaritôn margaritōn margaritō̂n margaritou margarítou<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/matthew/7-6.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Matthew 7:6</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Noun -
