alabaster, marble (fine stone for building)
A building material mentioned in David's preparations for the temple in 1 Chronicles 29:2. The term designates a fine, lustrous stone—traditionally identified as alabaster or marble—suitable for decorative architectural use. Ancient Near Eastern cognates appear in Aramaic and Syriac, and the word may be a foreign loanword, possibly from Akkadian šaššu. The stone's aesthetic qualities made it valuable for sacred architecture. Patrick's article in Hastings' Dictionary discusses the identification, noting the term's association with luxury materials befitting God's dwelling place.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — In 1 Chronicles 29:2, this noun appears in David's detailed inventory of materials gathered for Solomon's temple construction. The phrase 'stones of alabaster/marble' (אַבְנֵי־שַׁיִשׁ) emphasizes the premium quality of materials designated for sacred use. The multilingual glosses consistently render this as 'marble' (Spanish 'mármol'), while French and German bracket the Hebrew term, perhaps reflecting uncertainty about the precise stone type. The domain assignment to 'Animals' appears erroneous—this clearly belongs to building materials or mineral substances, not fauna. 1×
