Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

I. תַּרְשִׁישׁ noun masculine a precious stone, perhaps yellow jasper, or other gold-coloured stone (ᵐ5^L Exodus 28:20; Exodus 39:13 χρυσόλιθοχ, so Jos^{Ant. iii. 7}, 5 [168], see Petrie^{Hast. DB STONES, PRECIOUS} Myres^{Ency. Bib. ID. § 17} Dr^{Daniel 10:6}); — ׳כְּעֵין ת Ezekiel 1:6; ׳כְּעֵין אֵבֶן ת Ezekiel 10:9; in list of gems Ezekiel 28:13; Exodus 28:20; Exodus 39:13; in simile of resplendent body Daniel 10:6, compare Song of Solomon 5:14.

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

תַּרְשִׁישׁ (perhaps, “breaking,” “subjection,” i.e. region subjected, from the root רָשַׁשׁ) [Tarshish, Tharshish], pr.n.

(1) Tartessus, Ταρτησσός (more rarely, Ταρσηΐον, Polyb. Steph. Byz.), a city of Spain with the adjacent country, situated between the two mouths of the river Bætis (now Guadalquivir), a very flourishing colony and emporium of the Phœnicians, Genesis 10:4; Psalms 72:10; Isaiah 23:1, Isaiah 23:6, 10 Isaiah 23:10, 66:19 Jonah 1:3, 4:2 Ezekiel 38:13 hence silver (comp. Diod. Sic., v. 35-38. Strab. iii. page 148; Casaub.), iron, tin, and lead were brought to Tyre, Jeremiah 10:9; Ezekiel 27:12, 25 Ezekiel 27:25. See Bochart, in Geogr. Sacra, lib. iii. cap. 7, p. 165 seqq.; J. D. Michaëlis, Spicileg. Geogr. Hebr. Exteræ, i. p. 82-103; and G. G. Bredovii Disqui. Histor. fasc. ii. p. 260-803. Compare my Comment. on Isaiah 23:1, אֳנִיּוֹת תַּרְשִׁישׁ ships of Tarshish, partly properly so called, the Tyrian ships sent to Tartessus, or returning thence, Isaiah 23:1, Isaiah 23:4, 60:9 partly used as a general term for large ships of burden, although going into other countries, Isaiah 2:16; Psalms 48:8 and so, 1 Kings 10:22 (compare 9:28 ); 22:49 used of the ships going to Ophir; although the author of the Chronicles seems either not to know, or acknowledge this usage of language; see 2 Chronicles 9:21, 20:36, 37 2 Chronicles 20:37 compare my Gesch. d. Heb. Spr. p. 42.

(2) a precious stone, so called no doubt from Tartessus, as Ophir is used for gold of Ophir, Exodus 28:20, 39:13 Ezekiel 1:16, 10:9 28:13 Song of Solomon 5:14; Daniel 10:6. The chrysolite, i.e. the topaz of the moderns (which is still found in Spain), according to LXX. and Josephus, is understood by Braun (De Vestitu Sacerdot. ii. 7). Others prefer amber, but this is contrary to Exodus 28:20, 39:13.

(3) [Tarshish], pr.n.

(a) of a Persian prince, Esther 1:14.

(b) 1 Chronicles 7:10.
