Contextual Overview

1 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made clothes of service, to do service in the holy [place], and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses. 2 And he made the ephod [of] gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. 3 And they beat the gold into thin plates, and cut [it into] wires, to work [it] in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, [with] curious work. 4 They made shoulder-pieces for it, to couple [it] together: by the two edges was it coupled together. 5 And the curious girdle of his ephod, that [was] upon it, [was] of the same, according to the work thereof; [of] gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses. 6 And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel. 7 And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, [that they should be] stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses. 8 And he made the breast-plate [of] curious work, like the work of the ephod; [of] gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. 9 It was foursquare; they made the breast-plate double: a span [was] the length of it, and a span the breadth of it, [being] doubled. 10 And they set in it four rows of stones: [the first] row [was] a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this [was] the first row.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

a diamond: Exodus 28:18, Ezekiel 28:13, The word yahalom may mean the diamond, from halam, to beat, smite, because of its extreme hardness, by which it will beat to pieces the other stones. It is a fine pellucid substance never debased with any admixture of other matter; susceptible of elegant tinges from metal-line particles; giving fire with steel; not fermenting with acid menstrua; scarcely calcinable by any degree of fire; and of one simple and permanent appearance in all lights. It is the hardest and most valuable of all gems; when pure, perfectly clear and pellucid as the clearest water, and eminently distinguished from all other substances by its vivid splendour, and the brightness of its reflections.

Reciprocal: Revelation 4:3 - like unto
