However, the general term for precious stones in Greek is λίθος (lithos - Strong's G3037).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "yahalom" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a precious stone, specifically a diamond. It is one of the stones mentioned in the High Priest's breastplate, known as the "breastplate of judgment," which was worn by the High Priest of Israel as described in the book of Exodus.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, gemstones were highly valued not only for their beauty and rarity but also for their symbolic significance. The breastplate of the High Priest contained twelve stones, each representing one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The diamond, or "yahalom," was likely chosen for its hardness and brilliance, symbolizing strength and purity. The use of such stones in religious garments underscores the importance of beauty and craftsmanship in worship and the representation of divine truths.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1986.htm">halam</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>(a precious stone) perhaps jasper or onyx<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>diamond (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">יַהֲלֹם</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> a precious stone, <font size="+1"><b>jasper</b></font> ?
