PEARL. References in OT are uncertain. In Job 28:10 gâbîsh is in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] tr. [Note: translate or translation.] ‘pearls,’ but in RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘ crystal ,’ while pÄ•nînîm in same verse is in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] tr. [Note: translate or translation.] ‘rubies,’ hut in RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] ‘pearls.’ In Esther 1:6 dar should perhaps he rendered ‘pearl’ or ‘mother-of-pearl.’ In NT pearls (Gr. margaritai ) are mentioned in Matthew 7:8; Mat 13:45 f., 1 Timothy 2:9 , Revelation 21:21 . The last ref. must be to mother-of-pearl. Pearls are a pathological production of the mollusc Avicula. margaritifera .
