Red Coral

The Hebrew word is rarnoth, and occurs only in Job 28:18¹⁸No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies. (Job 28:18) and Ezekiel 27:16¹⁶Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making: they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate. (Ezekiel 27:16): it signifies high priced or costly things. The Rabbis think it refers to red coral.
