Jacinth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the gemstone. For the racehorse, see Jacinth (horse).
Red zircon from Gilgit, Pakistan

Jacinth (/ˈdʒæsɪnθ/,[1] /ˈdʒeɪsɪnθ/)[2] or hyacinth (/ˈhaɪ.əsɪnθ/)[3] is a yellow-red to red-brown variety of zircon used as a gemstone.[4]

In Exodus 28:19, one of the precious stones set into the hoshen (the breastplate worn by the High Priest of Israel) is called, in Hebrew, leshem, which is often translated into English as "jacinth".[5] The true identity of this stone has been a source of confusion since at least the first century; the modern identification of leshem with jacinth seems to have been popularised by Martin Luther, who may in turn have been following a fourth-century tradition.[6]

In Revelation 21:20, one of the foundation stones of the New Jerusalem is hyacinth (Greek: hyakinthos).[7] However, Strong's Concordance and Thayer's Greek Lexicon describe this as a stone of the colour of the hyacinth plant, i.e. dark blue.[8] The stone intended may be the sapphire.[9] In Revelation 9:17, the word appears in adjective form (hyakinthinous, "hyacinthine");[10] this, again, is thought to be descriptive of a blue or purple colour, with no reference to the modern jacinth stone.[11]

Transcription

[female professor vocalizing faintly over flowing piano melody] ♪ (professor) OK. Great. (male student, voice-over) I am the youngest of five children. My older brother is a surgeon, and my older sister is a pediatrician. Another older sister is also in med school, and then my sister closest to me in age is a lawyer. I felt a lot of pressure to do something similar, to be the doctor or the lawyer. I was actually a psychology major focusing in neuroscience before I decided to switch to music. [Saint-Saëns' Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor] I was playing the second concerto in G minor by Camille Saint-Saëns. There is a concerto competition in January for which I am preparing, and so Francine and I were practicing in preparation for that. (professor) That was great! (Greywoode) She's a phenomenal teacher. I had to get used to the elbows in my side as I'm playing, and as I learned to use the entire range of motion available to the body. It helped really translate into a true passionate movement. [gentle, flowing piano melody] ♪ (professor) He's kind of a natural talent-- very active mind and intellectual ability, curious, very questioning, a seeking spirit. He's made a tremendous amount of progress in the years that I've known him, which is just beautiful to see. He's really blossomed here. (Kay) Yeah, that's, I think, what you played, yeah. (Greywoode) I am composing a mass for orchestra and choir, so it will be a small orchestra and a four-part choir with four soloists. I am composing the mass for my thesis, my senior thesis. Most of the time, I sit at the piano and play something, and I'm like, "Oh, I kinda like that," and it turns into a piece. In all honesty, I couldn't tell you where it comes from. Just, um, it happens. (group) ♪ Shepherds heard the music ♪ ♪ From above ♪ ♪ Falling like a gentle snow ♪ ♪ Filling all the earth ♪ ♪ With songs of love ♪
