glass
highly ornamented, such as was made in
Egypt
: it is here classed
with
gold
; but wisdom,
the
gift
of
God
, far exceeds such things in value.

gerach
,
ice
, and so frequently translated. The
firmament
over the living
creature
was “as the color of the terrible crystal” (
Ezek. 1:22
22
And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the color of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above. (Ezekiel 1:22)

John
saw a
sea
of glass
like unto crystal (
Rev. 4:6
6
And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. (Revelation 4:6)
); the
water
of
life
and the
jasper
stone
were seen “clear as crystal” (
Rev. 22:1
1
And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. (Revelation 22:1)

wholly
transparent.
