1. beryl, chrysolite (gemstone) — A precious yellow-green gemstone, likely chrysolite or beryl, used in descriptions of the high priest's breastplate (Exodus 28:20), theophanic visions (Ezekiel 1:16, 10:9, Daniel 10:6), and the king of Tyre's adornment (Ezekiel 28:13); Arabic consistently renders it الزَّبَرْجَدِ (zabarjad, 'chrysolite'), Swahili uses both krisolitho and zabarijadi, Korean offers 다싀 and 녹주석 ('green beryl'), while Spanish varies between berilo and tarsis. The three clusters differ only by prepositional context: bare noun (S145891), with preposition beth 'in/with' (S145893), and with preposition kaph 'like' (S145895). 7×
