שֹׁהַם shôham · H7718 · onyx
σαρδόνυξ (sardonyx) is a specific variety of layered chalcedony stone mentioned in Revelation 21:20 as one of the foundation stones of the New Jerusalem. Hebrew שֹׁהַם (shoham) is traditionally translated as 'onyx' or 'beryl' in the Old Testament (e.g., in the high priest's breastplate, Ex 28:9, 20; Ezek 28:13), referring to a precious stone. While the exact identification of שֹׁהַם is debated among scholars, it is lexicographically recognized as a translation equivalent for onyx-type gemstones and would be the natural Hebrew term a translator would use to render σαρδόνυξ in a Hebrew context.
