Exodus 28:19

a jacinth Heb. léshem, λιγύριον, ligurius. Perhaps (Myres) the cairngorm, a clear yellow stone. On the jacinth(cf. Revelation 21:20), which was apparently first suggested by Braun, de vestitu sacerdd.(ed. 2, 1698), 11. xiv, Mr Myres writes, -there is no evidence that the jacinth was either found in Liguria, or was known at all till Roman times." The λιγύριον (or λυγκούριον) is variously explained by Pliny as a fiery-coloured gem, like the carbuncle (H. N.viii. 38, xxxvii. 13), and (xxxvii. 11) as amber(hence RVm.).

an agate Heb. shebhô, ἀχάτης, achates. The correctness of this rendering is not doubted. A red, opaque stone.

an amethyst Heb. "aḥlấmâh, ἀμέθυστος, amethystus. This rend. is also unquestioned. A purple, clear stone.
