set in it settings of stones:
Heb. fill in its fillings of stone

the first row:
"Thou hast been¹ in Edenª the gardenª of God;ª every¹ preciousª stoneª [was] thy covering,ª the sardius,ª topaz,ª and the diamond,ª the beryl,ª the onyx,ª and the jasper,ª the sapphire,ª the emerald,ª and the carbuncle,ª and gold:ª the workmanshipª of thy tabretsª and of thy pipesª was preparedª ° in thee in the dayª that thou wast created.ª °" {Ezk 28:13} + "Andª the¹ foundationsª of the¹ wallª of the¹ cityª [were] garnished¹ with² ° all manner¹ of² preciousª stones.ª The¹ firstª foundationª [was] jasper;ª the¹ second,ª sapphire;ª the¹ third,ª a chalcedony;ª the¹ fourth,ª an emerald;ª ... Andª the¹ twelveª gatesª [were] twelveª pearls;ª every² ² severalª ¹ ¹ gateª wasª ° ofª oneª pearl:ª andª the¹ streetª of the¹ cityª [was] pureª gold,ª as it wereª transparentª glass.ª" {Rev 21:19-21}

a sardius:
or, ruby, The Hebrew odem, from adam, to be red, ruddy, seems to denote the ruby; as adam does in Persian a beautiful gem, of a fine deep red colour, with a mixture of purple. "No¹ mention² ° shall be made¹ of coral,ª or of pearls:ª for the priceª of wisdomª [is] above rubies.ª ¹" {Job 28:18} + "She¹ [is] more preciousª than rubies:ª ¹ and all¹ the things thou canst desireª are not¹ to be comparedª ° unto her." {Prv 3:15} + "For¹ wisdomª [is] betterª than rubies;ª ¹ and all¹ the things that may be desiredª are not¹ to be comparedª ° to it." {Prv 8:11} + "There isª gold,ª and a multitudeª of rubies:ª but the lipsª of knowledgeª [are] a preciousª jewel.ª" {Prv 20:15} + "Who¹ can findª ° a virtuousª woman?ª for her priceª [is] farª above rubies.ª ¹" {Prv 31:10} + "Her Nazaritesª were purerª ° than snow,ª ¹ they were whiterª ° than milk,ª ¹ they were more ruddyª ° in bodyª than rubies,ª ¹ their polishingª [was] of sapphire:ª" {Lam 4:7}

a topaz:
Pitdah, is constantly rendered by the LXX τοπαζιον, and Vulgate, topazius, with which agrees Josephus. The topaz is a precious stone, of a pale, dead green, with a mixture of yellow, sometimes of a fine yellow; and hence called chrysolyte by the moderns, from its gold colour. "The topazª of Ethiopiaª shall not¹ equalª ° it, neither¹ shall it be valuedª ° with pureª gold.ª" {Job 28:19} + "The¹ fifth,ª sardonyx;ª the¹ sixth,ª sardius;ª the¹ seventh,ª chrysolite;ª the¹ eighth,ª beryl;ª the¹ ninth,ª a topaz;ª the¹ tenth,ª a chrysoprasus;ª the¹ eleventh,ª a jacinth;ª the¹ twelfth,ª an amethyst.ª" {Rev 21:20}

a carbuncle:
Bareketh, from barak, to lighten, glitter, a very elegant gem, of a deep red colour, with a mixture of scarlet. "O thou afflicted,ª tossed with tempest,ª ° [and] not¹ comforted,ª ° behold,¹ I¹ will layª ° thy stonesª with fair colours,ª and lay thy foundationsª ° with sapphires.ª ... And I will makeª ° thy windowsª of agates,ª and thy gatesª of carbuncles,ª ª and all¹ thy bordersª of pleasantª stones.ª" {Isa 54:11-12}
