([[Text:EBD:Hebrew language (EBD)|Heb]]. shebo), a [[Text:EBD:Stones, Precious (EBD)|precious stone]] in the [[Text:EBD:Breastplate (EBD)|breast-plate]] of the [[Text:EBD:High priest (EBD)|high priest]] (Ex. 28:19; 39:12), the second in the third row. This may be the agate properly so called, a semi-transparent crystallized quartz, probably brought from [[Text:EBD:Sheba (EBD)|Sheba]], whence its name. In Isa. 54:12 and Ezek. 27:16, this word is the rendering of the Hebrew cadcod, which means "ruddy," and denotes a variety of minutely crystalline silica more or less in bands of different tints.

This word is from the [[Text:EBD:Greek (EBD)|Greek]] name of a stone found in the [[Text:EBD:River (EBD)|river]] Achates in Sicily.
