carbuncle or glowing stone; precious stones in Isaiah's restored Jerusalem (Isa 54:12)
This rare gemstone term appears in Isaiah's vision of Jerusalem's reconstruction with precious materials. The Hebrew suggests something fiery or sparkling. Ancient versions offered crystal, carved stones, or carbuncles. The prophet employs jewel imagery to convey the surpassing beauty and value of the restored city, transforming building materials into treasures befitting God's dwelling place.

1. sense 1 — Isaiah 54:12 promises: 'I will make your pinnacles of agate, your gates of carbuncles, and all your wall of precious stones.' The 'stones of carbuncle' (or fiery glow) transform defensive architecture into radiant beauty. Translation divergence (English 'carbuncle', Spanish 'carbún', French/German preserve Hebrew) reflects uncertainty about the specific gem, but consensus recognizes a brilliant, fire-like stone. This image anticipates Revelation's jeweled New Jerusalem. 1×
