Pearl History of Judea

The Old Testament did not value pearls particularly and barely mentions them- and that mention is an interpretation of some obscure words. As shellfish were proscribed by Judaism, the ancient Hebrews may not have valued pearls much either.

The New Testament was originally written in Greek, so it is not surprising that pearls are mentioned a number of times. Some of our best known pearl metaphors come from this source - the pearl of great price and pearls before swine.
