Commentary on Job 28:18

Theological / Devotional

Coral. Heb. Ra’moth. The particular gem or precious substance here referred to is uncertain. The application of the word to coral is a rabbinical interpretation.

Pearls. This word very likely means “crystal.”

Rubies. The exact identification of the gem is not known (see Prov. 3:15; 8:11; 20:15; 31:10; Lam. 4:7).
