Sapphire, agate, amethyst,
Topaz, beryl, jasper.
Two lists of precious stones quite similar to those of the Book of Exodus are given in other places in the Bible, one in Ezekiel 28:13, where “every precious stone” is said to have been the covering of the King of Tyre, and again in Revelation 21:19-20, where twelve different precious stones are mentioned as garnishing the foundations of the wall of the Holy City. The names and order of these in Ezekiel are, in the authorized version, as follows:
Sardius, topaz, diamond,
Beryl, onyx, jasper,
Sapphire, emerald, carbuncle.
To these the Septuagint adds the following:
Chrysolite, ligure, agate.
The revised version gives marginally, ruby for sardius, carbuncle for emerald, and emerald for carbuncle. In Revelation the list as given in the authorized version reads as follows—
Jasper, sapphire, chalcedony,
