In the context of the Bible, it is often associated with beauty, value, and significance. The term is used to describe one of the stones set in the High Priest's breastplate, symbolizing one of the twelve tribes of Israel.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, gemstones were highly prized for their beauty and rarity. The odem, with its striking red hue, was considered a symbol of wealth and status. In the biblical context, the High Priest's breastplate, also known as the "breastplate of judgment," contained twelve stones, each representing one of the tribes of Israel. The odem was the first stone listed, indicating its prominence and importance.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/119.htm">adom</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a carnelian<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ruby (3).<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">אֹ֫דֶם</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [feminine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>carnelian</b></font> (from <em>redness</em>;
