A Hebrew word kadkōd ‘a sparkling gem, prob. ruby,’ left untranslated by the LXX. as χορχόρ, and by Jerome as chodchod, which was retained by Wyclif and the Douay version. Coverdale has ‘Christall’: 1611 ‘agate.’
1382. Wyclif, Ezek. xxvii. 16. Bijs, and silk, and chodchod, that is, precious marchaundise [1388 cochod, ether auer de peis].
1609. Bible (Douay), ibid. Fine linnen, and silke, and chodchod.
