Job 28:17

Context
NETBible

Neither gold nor crystal 1  can be compared with it, nor can a vase 2  of gold match its worth.

XREF

Eze 1:22; Re 4:6; Re 21:11; Re 22:1

NET © Notes

tn The word is from זָכַךְ (zakhakh, “clear”). It describes a transparent substance, and so “glass” is an appropriate translation. In the ancient world it was precious and so expensive.

tc The MT has “vase”; but the versions have a plural here, suggesting jewels of gold.
