CHRYSOLITE

A clear green stone, also called peridot. Some versions (NAB, NIV, NJPVS) translate Heb. taršîš (Gk. chrysólithos) as “chrysolite,” something flashing or bright (Ezek. 1:16; 10:9), an engraved stone on the high priest’s breastpiece (Exod. 28:17-20; 39:10-13), and a stone adorning the king of Tyre (Ezek. 28:13). “Chrysolite” is also used for Gk. chrysólithos, a course in the foundation of the wall of the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:20).

Other terms translated “chrysolite” include Heb. piṭĕḏâ (Gk. topázion, “topaz”). Some translations render “beryl,” “gold quartz,” “onyx,” or “topaz” for these terms.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
