coral, precious marine product (possibly black coral)
This term refers to coral or similar precious marine products valued in the ancient world. Job 28:18 lists coral alongside pearls among precious substances that pale in comparison to wisdom's value. Ezekiel 27:16 mentions it as merchandise in Tyre's extensive trade network. The exact species is debated—possibly black coral rather than the more familiar red variety. What's clear is that these were luxury items imported from distant seas, serving as standards of value in wisdom literature and economic records alike.

1. sense 1 — Most translations preserve 'coral': Spanish 'corales/coral,' English 'coral.' The two contexts differ functionally—Job uses coral in a value hierarchy where even precious stones fall short of wisdom's worth (28:18), while Ezekiel catalogs Tyre's trade goods including coral from Syria or Edom (27:16). Both treat coral as a recognized valuable commodity, rare enough to serve as a wealth marker but accessible enough through trade to be known. 2×
