Electrum / ἤλεκτρον is attested in Bible only in the book of Ezekiel. As the meaning of the Latin/Greek term is ambivalent, „alloy of gold and silver” and „amber”, the various translations of these passages reflect either the manner it was understood or the manner it seemed appropriate to be rendered. Basically defined by the colour, the alloy or the amber was preferred by translators and/or authors of commentaries for its literary qualities, as image or pleasant-sounding term.
