The concept of rarity is often associated with the divine, the sacred, and the precious materials used in worship and the construction of holy places.<br><br><b>1. Rare Materials in the Tabernacle and Temple:</b><br><br>The construction of the Tabernacle and later the Temple involved the use of rare and precious materials. In <a href="/exodus/25-3.htm">Exodus 25:3-7</a>, God instructs Moses to collect offerings from the Israelites, including gold, silver, bronze, blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, fine linen, goat hair, ram skins dyed red, and acacia wood. These materials were considered rare and valuable, signifying the importance and sanctity of the dwelling place of God among His people.<br><br><b>2. Rare Stones and Gems:</b><br><br>The Bible frequently mentions rare stones and gems, particularly in the context of the High Priest's breastplate and the foundations of the New Jerusalem. In <a href="/exodus/28-17.htm">Exodus 28:17-20</a>, the breastplate of judgment is described as being adorned with twelve precious stones, each representing one of the tribes of Israel. Similarly, <a href="/revelation/21-19.htm">Revelation 21:19-21</a> describes the foundations of the New Jerusalem as being decorated with every kind of precious stone, emphasizing the city's divine beauty and worth.<br><br><b>3. Rare Events and Miracles:</b><br><br>The Bible records numerous rare events and miracles that demonstrate God's power and intervention in human history. These events, such as the parting of the Red Sea (<a href="/exodus/14-21.htm">Exodus 14:21-22</a>), the sun standing still at Gibeon (<a href="/joshua/10-12.htm">Joshua 10:12-14</a>), and the resurrection of Jesus Christ (<a href="/matthew/28-5.htm">Matthew 28:5-7</a>), are unique and unparalleled, serving as signs of God's sovereignty and faithfulness.<br><br><b>4. Rare Virtues and Qualities:</b><br><br>Certain virtues and qualities are considered rare and highly esteemed in the biblical narrative. <a href="/proverbs/31-10.htm">Proverbs 31:10</a>, for example, speaks of the "wife of noble character" as being worth far more than rubies, highlighting the rarity and value of such a virtuous woman. Similarly, in <a href="/matthew/7-13.htm">Matthew 7:13-14</a>, Jesus describes the narrow gate that leads to life as being found by few, indicating the rarity of true discipleship and commitment to God's ways.<br><br><b>5. Rare Prophetic Visions and Revelations:</b><br><br>Prophetic visions and revelations are rare occurrences that convey God's messages to His people. In <a href="/1_samuel/3.htm">1 Samuel 3:1</a>, it is noted that "the word of the LORD was rare in those days; visions were infrequent," indicating a period when divine communication was scarce. This rarity underscores the significance and weight of prophetic messages when they are given.<br><br><b>6. Rare Faith and Devotion:</b><br><br>The Bible commends individuals who exhibit rare faith and devotion. <a href="/bsb/hebrews/11.htm">Hebrews 11</a>, often referred to as the "Faith Hall of Fame," lists numerous figures who demonstrated extraordinary faith in God, despite challenges and uncertainties. Their accounts serve as examples of rare and commendable trust in God's promises.<br><br>In summary, the concept of rarity in the Bible is associated with value, significance, and divine purpose. Whether in the form of materials, events, virtues, or faith, what is rare is often linked to the sacred and the extraordinary, reflecting God's glory and the call to holiness.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
