THE BIBLE IN POP CULTURE

... and the shoham stone , Genesis 2:12





The gold of that land is good, bedolach is there, and the shoham stone.



At left is the emblem for the municipality of Shoham, Israel, named after the precious stone (onyx)that is among the dozen stones incorporated into the breastplate of the high priest. The town is located near the highway connecting Jerusalem to Tel Aviv. The green color of the emblem was chosen to symbolize the verdure of this community.
