Amethyst:
(Heb. achlamah) a subspecies of quartz of a bluish‐violet color. Mention is made of this precious stone, which formed the third in the third row of the high priestly breastplate, in Exodus 28:19; 39:12. It occurs also in Revelation 21:20.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
