LEARNING ACTIVITIES AND EXERCISES

Present your own idea on the following.

1. Explain why Job 28:12-28 keeps on explaining about the precious stone.

— Job keeps describing the precious stone because he wants to convey the message to us to teach us and for us to realize that
no one is more important in this world than serving God, choosing wisdom rather than anything. Job explained how men
diligently sought after these precious and useful metals. They light up dark places (Man puts an end to darkness), they search
every recess; they dig to break open a shaft away from people, and even personally endanger themselves (they hang far away
from men; they swing to and fro). The point is that man’s intelligence and determination enable him to accomplish amazing
feats of technological ingenuity, but left to himself he cannot find wisdom. Wisdom is a treasure rarer than any other.

2. Do precious stones play an important role in the scripture we have discussed? Why?

— Yes, precious stones play an important role in the scripture we have discussed. because the words rock and stone, referring
to the prime elements in ancient foundations, are used in the scriptures as metaphors signifying strength, steadiness, and
durability. Also, Gemstones often play a vital and fascinating role in the Bible, being seen as a deceleration of wealth for kings
and rulers, as well as a sign of divine creation.
