The word
bedolach
has been interpreted to signify both a white transparent oily gum, and a white pearl. Its color is referred to in the description of the manna (
Num. 11:7
7
And the manna was as coriander seed, and the color thereof as the color of bdellium. (Numbers 11:7)
), and in
Genesis 2:12
12
And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. (Genesis 2:12)
it is mentioned with gold and onyx stones as characterizing the land of Havilah. The white pearl seems the more probable allusion, for the manna is in
Exodus 16:14
14
And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground. (Exodus 16:14)
compared also to the hoar frost.
