and amethyst; a purple precious stone on the high priest's ephod
A conjunction plus noun denoting amethyst, one of the precious stones mounted on the high priestly ephod. Both occurrences appear in parallel passages (Exodus 28:19 and 39:12) listing the twelve stones representing Israel's tribes. The identification as amethyst follows the Septuagint, Vulgate, and Josephus, though BDB notes alternative proposals including green malachite. The Hebrew etymology remains uncertain, with suggestions ranging from Aramaic roots meaning 'strong, solid' to connections with a type of plant.

1. sense 1 — Multilingual consistency is remarkable: English, Spanish, French, and German all render 'and amethyst' (y-amatista, et-améthyste, und-Amethyst), reflecting broad acceptance of the traditional identification via Greek and Latin versions. The parallel occurrences in Exodus 28 and 39 represent the initial command for the ephod's construction and its subsequent execution—standard Priestly source pattern showing prescription and fulfillment. 2×
