Definition: The English word "amberies" appears to have a number of meanings in the Old Testament, but based on the New King James Version (KJV) it appears to be referring to a certain type of natural gemstone. In the Bible, it is not uncommon for references to amber and its uses in various contexts. The Hebrew name "amber" means gold or silver, and there are other meanings depending on how the word is used in verse context. 1. In the Old Testament, "amber" might refer to gold that has been treated with an alloy made from lead. For example: Isaiah 54:2 says, "And they shall say of me, Behold, he who shall call upon God shall speak good words; for he will give him as amber." 2. It can also be used to describe the color of a stone that is not pure gold but has been treated with an alloy made from silver. For example: Isaiah 8:1 says, "And they shall say, Behold, the thing which shall come upon all nations; for he shall be called by the name of ambers." 3. The Hebrew word "amber" can also mean "the color of a man's hair that is red." This could suggest something like amber-colored hair, as well. In summary, the Old Testament uses "amberies" in various contexts to describe gold or silver or other materials that are not pure white but have been treated with an alloy made from either lead or copper.
