Intelligence Brief

The Hebrew tarshish likely refers to chrysolite or beryl — a golden-yellow or sea-green precious stone. The same stone appears on the high priest's breastplate (Exodus 28:20) and in Daniel's vision of the heavenly messenger (Daniel 10:6). The point is not mineralogical precision but royal splendor: even the wheels of God's chariot are made of gemstone. This is a throne worthy of the King of kings. Every detail communicates glory, wealth, and sovereign majesty.
