Ligure

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the language called Ligure, see Ligurian language (Romance)

Ligure occurs in the Bible, in the book of Exodus 28:19 and 39:12, as the name of a stone in the third row of the high priest's breastplate, the Hoshen. Some have supposed that this stone was the same as the jacinth, others believe that it was the opal or amethyst.
