In the biblical context, it is used to describe something that is clear, pure, and precious, reflecting light and beauty.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient times, glass was a rare and valuable material. It was often associated with wealth and luxury due to its clarity and the skill required to produce it. The use of glass in biblical texts symbolizes purity, transparency, and the divine nature of God's creation. The rarity and beauty of glass made it a fitting metaphor for spiritual truths and divine revelation.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2141.htm">zakak</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>glass<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>glass (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">זְכוֺכִית</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [feminine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>glass</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <font class="hebrew2">זכוכיתא</font>; but see Frä<sup>64</sup>); as precious ("" <font class="hebrew2">זָהָב</font>), yet of less value than wisdom <a href="/interlinear/job/28-17.htm">Job 28:17</a>.
