A gem is assessed by three basic principles: 1. It is exquisite 2. It is rare 3. It is useful. When all three aspects are apparent, the gem is valued to be of highest worth. There is the rainbow range of the 'ruby', 'jasper', 'topaz', 'emerald', 'turquoise', 'sapphire', amethyst', and many more amazing truths that are hidden away in Genesis and each discovery is worth the 'dig'!Bible students will be amazed at how a word-at times found in its most ancient form-can explain the unbelievable, expose the unexplored, and enable the acknowledgement of its true worth. All who become engaged in the search will be enriched by digging beneath the surface of the soil. Pick up your spade!
