Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

בַּ֫הַט noun [masculine] a costly stone, perhaps porphyry (compare Egyptian behiti, behet, behat Brugsch^{Dict. v. 438} Dümichen^{Geschichte 167f.} Wendel^{Altäg. Bau- u. Edelsteine (1888) 77f.}; ᵐ5 has σμαραγδίτης), Esther 1:6 עַלוָֿשֵׁשׁ וְדַר וְסֹחָ֑רֶת׳ִרצֲפַת ב upon a pavement of porphyry and marble, etc.

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

בַּהַט Esther 1:6, a kind of marble of which pavements were made. LXX., Vulg. σμαραγδίτης, smaragdites. Arab. بَهْتُ according to the Kamûs, page 176, is a species of stone; and from the etymology, it may be gathered that a spurious marble is intended, so called because it falsely puts on the appearance of marble: [“or else white marble”].
