reninim. To what precious stone this word refers is not definitely known. It is mentioned as a symbol of preciousness: as "the price of wisdom is above rubies"; the value of a virtuous woman is far above rubies. Job 28:18; Proverbs 3:15; Proverbs 8:11; Proverbs 20:15; Proverbs 31:10 . In Lamentations 4:7 , where the Nazarites are said to be "more ruddy in body than rubies," some translate 'corals,' though the Hebrew is the same. Bochart judges 'pearls' to be intended.
