what do rubies mean in the bible
Concerning the meaning of the Hebrew words translated rubies there is much difference of opinion. (Job 28:18) see also Prov 3:15; 8:11; 31:10 Some suppose coral to be in tended; others pearl, supposing that the original word signifies merely bright in color, or color of a reddish tinge..The real ruby is a red sapphire, next in value to the diamond. The finest rubies are brought chiefly from Ceylon and Burmah.) Bibliography Information Smith, William, Dr. Entry for 'Rubies'. Smith's Bible Dictionary. . 1901. 1  Rosin.
