(beh' ril) A light green precious stone closely related to emeralds and aquamarines. The stones decorated the high priest's breastplate (Exodus 28:20 ), the king of Tyre (Ezekiel 28:13 ), the man in Daniel's vision (Daniel 10:6 ), and the eighth foundation of the new Jerusalem (Revelation 21:20 ). The ornamentation on the wheels of Ezekiel's opening vision were colored like beryl (Ezekiel 1:16 ). The beloved man of Song of Song of Solomon 5:14 had beryl in his gold rings. See Jewelry.
