It conveys the idea of something that is clear, pure, and precious. In the context of the Bible, it is used metaphorically to describe the clarity and purity of divine revelation or creation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, crystals and precious stones were highly valued for their beauty and rarity. They were often used in religious and royal settings, symbolizing purity, wealth, and divine favor. The use of "gabish" in the Hebrew Bible reflects this cultural appreciation for clarity and purity, both in physical and spiritual contexts.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>crystal<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>crystal (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">גָּבִישׁ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>crystal</b></font> (compare <font class="hebrew2">אֶלְגָּבִישׁ</font> <em>hail</em> — on relation of meanings compare Greek <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">κρύσταλλος</font>, & Ethiopic usage of <img src="/bdbgif/bdb015003.gif"> Di<sup>Lex.
