CHADCHOD. Ezekiel mentions Chadchod among the several Merchandises which Ezek. xxvii. 16. כרכר Chadchod.were brought to Tyre. The old Interpreters not very well knowing the meaning of this term, continued it in their Translation. S. Jerom acknowledges, that he could not discover the signification of it. The Chaldee interprets it Pearls; others think that the Onyx, Ruby, Carbuncle, Chrystal, or Diamond is meant by it: Every one according to their particular conjectures.
