In the other Testament 3 words

χρύσεος chrýseos · G5552 · golden, made of gold: Greek χρύσεος (made of gold) is the standard adjectival rendering of Aramaic דְּהַב (gold) when the latter denotes gold as material or modifies a noun, reflecting the natural morphological shift from substantive to attributive across languages.
χρυσίον chrysíon · G5553 · gold, gold jewelry, gold ornaments: Greek χρυσίον specifically denotes gold as a material substance or manufactured golden articles (plating, ornaments, coins), corresponding to Aramaic דְּהַב's core reference to gold as a precious metal, particularly in Daniel's visions of golden imagery and royal treasures.
זָהָב zâhâb · H2091 · gold, golden glow: דְּהַב (dᵉhab, H1722) (Aramaic דְּהַב) is the Aramaic cognate reflex of זָהָב (zâhâb, H2091) (Hebrew זָהָב), both denoting 'gold' as the precious metal; they are cross-linguistic equivalents by virtue of being the same lexical root in sister languages of the biblical corpus.
