Aram did business with you because of your many products; they exchanged turquoise, purple fabric, embroidered work, fine linen, coral and rubies for your merchandise.
Ezekiel 27:16
"The Bible mentions corals three times (Job 28:18; Lamentations 4:7 and Ezekiel 27:16) and in all three what is stressed is the fact
that value of precious stones was ascribed to them in ancient times.
The Hebrew term is ramoth, which means “of great value”, and was translated in the Septuaguint as metéora. Some translators believe that the Hebrew term peninim, translated as “rubies” (Job 28:18; Prov. 3:15; 8:11; 20:15; 31:10; Lam. 4:7) could equally well refer to coral, or to pearls.
*Corals are unique marine animals as they live in colonies made up of hundreds or thousands of individual specimens known as zooids or polyps. clustering of zooids, or individual organisms, can give rise, in tropical and subtropical seas, to very large coral systems, such as the Australian Great Barrier Reef, which covers an area of several thousand kilometres and can even be observed from space.
Dr. John Stevenson penned the following words about Psalm 22 v 3 in a commentary he wrote in the 19th century: “But thou art
holy. Here is the triumph of faith - the Savior stood like a rock in the wide ocean of temptation. High as the billows rose, so did his faith, like the coral rock, wax greater and stronger till it became an island of salvation to our shipwrecked souls.”
Therefore, corals in Scripture constitute an example of the beauty, the value and the solidity of faith."
