Gold \Gold\ (g[omac]ld), n. [AS. gold; akin to D. goud, OS. & G.       gold, Icel. gull, Sw. & Dan. guld, Goth. gul[thorn], Russ. &       OSlav. zlato; prob. akin to E. yellow. [root]49, 234. See       {Yellow}, and cf. {Gild}, v. t.]       1. (Chem.) A metallic element, constituting the most precious             metal used as a common commercial medium of exchange. It             has a characteristic yellow color, is one of the heaviest             substances known (specific gravity 19.32), is soft, and             very malleable and ductile. It is quite unalterable by             heat, moisture, and most corrosive agents, and therefore             well suited for its use in coin and jewelry. Symbol Au             (Aurum). Atomic weight 196.7.          Note: Native gold contains usually eight to ten per cent of                silver, but often much more. As the amount of silver                increases, the color becomes whiter and the specific                gravity lower. Gold is very widely disseminated, as in                the sands of many rivers, but in very small quantity.                It usually occurs in quartz veins (gold quartz), in                slate and metamorphic rocks, or in sand and alluvial                soil, resulting from the disintegration of such rocks.                It also occurs associated with other metallic                substances, as in auriferous pyrites, and is combined                with tellurium in the minerals petzite, calaverite,                sylvanite, etc. Pure gold is too soft for ordinary use,                and is hardened by alloying with silver and copper, the                latter giving a characteristic reddish tinge. [See                {Carat}.] Gold also finds use in gold foil, in the                pigment purple of Cassius, and in the chloride, which                is used as a toning agent in photography.          2. Money; riches; wealth.                         For me, the gold of France did not seduce. --Shak.          3.

Gold \Gold\ (g[omac]ld), n. [AS. gold; akin to D. goud, OS. & G.       gold, Icel. gull, Sw. & Dan. guld, Goth. gul[thorn], Russ. &       OSlav. zlato; prob. akin to E. yellow. [root]49, 234. See       {Yellow}, and cf. {Gild}, v. t.]       1. (Chem.) A metallic element, constituting the most precious             metal used as a common commercial medium of exchange. It             has a characteristic yellow color, is one of the heaviest             substances known (specific gravity 19.32), is soft, and             very malleable and ductile. It is quite unalterable by             heat, moisture, and most corrosive agents, and therefore             well suited for its use in coin and jewelry. Symbol Au             (Aurum). Atomic weight 196.7.          Note: Native gold contains usually eight to ten per cent of                silver, but often much more. As the amount of silver                increases, the color becomes whiter and the specific                gravity lower. Gold is very widely disseminated, as in                the sands of many rivers, but in very small quantity.                It usually occurs in quartz veins (gold quartz), in                slate and metamorphic rocks, or in sand and alluvial                soil, resulting from the disintegration of such rocks.                It also occurs associated with other metallic                substances, as in auriferous pyrites, and is combined                with tellurium in the minerals petzite, calaverite,                sylvanite, etc. Pure gold is too soft for ordinary use,                and is hardened by alloying with silver and copper, the                latter giving a characteristic reddish tinge. [See                {Carat}.] Gold also finds use in gold foil, in the                pigment purple of Cassius, and in the chloride, which                is used as a toning agent in photography.          2.

Gold \Gold\ (g[omac]ld), n. [AS. gold; akin to D. goud, OS. & G.       gold, Icel. gull, Sw. & Dan. guld, Goth. gul[thorn], Russ. &       OSlav. zlato; prob. akin to E. yellow. [root]49, 234. See       {Yellow}, and cf. {Gild}, v. t.]       1. (Chem.) A metallic element, constituting the most precious             metal used as a common commercial medium of exchange. It             has a characteristic yellow color, is one of the heaviest             substances known (specific gravity 19.32), is soft, and             very malleable and ductile. It is quite unalterable by             heat, moisture, and most corrosive agents, and therefore             well suited for its use in coin and jewelry. Symbol Au             (Aurum). Atomic weight 196.7.          Note: Native gold contains usually eight to ten per cent of                silver, but often much more. As the amount of silver                increases, the color becomes whiter and the specific                gravity lower. Gold is very widely disseminated, as in                the sands of many rivers, but in very small quantity.                It usually occurs in quartz veins (gold quartz), in                slate and metamorphic rocks, or in sand and alluvial                soil, resulting from the disintegration of such rocks.                It also occurs associated with other metallic                substances, as in auriferous pyrites, and is combined                with tellurium in the minerals petzite, calaverite,                sylvanite, etc. Pure gold is too soft for ordinary use,                and is hardened by alloying with silver and copper, the                latter giving a characteristic reddish tinge. [See                {Carat}.] Gold also finds use in gold foil, in the                pigment purple of Cassius, and in the chloride, which                is used as a toning agent in photography.          2. Money; riches; wealth.                         For me, the gold of France did not seduce. --Shak.          3. A yellow color, like that of the metal; as, a flower             tipped with gold.          4. Figuratively, something precious or pure; as, hearts of             gold. --Shak.          {Age of gold}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Gilead, Balm of       The region of Gilead abounded in spices and aromatic gums, which       were exported to Egypt and Tyre (Gen. 37:25; Jer. 8:22; 46:11;       Ezek. 27:17). The word "balm" is a contracted form of "balsam,"       a word derived from the Greek _balsamon_, which was adopted as       the representative of the Hebrew words _baal shemen_, meaning       "lord" or "chief of oils."                The Hebrew name of this balm was _tsori_. The tree yielding       this medicinal oil was probably the Balsamodendron opobalsamum       of botanists, and the Amyris opobalsamum of Linnaeus. It is an       evergreen, rising to the height of about 14 feet. The oil or       resin, exuding through an orifice made in its bark in very small       quantities, is esteemed of great value for its supposed       medicinal qualities. (See {BALM}.) It may be noted that       Coverdale's version reads in Jer. 8:22, "There is no triacle in       Galaad." The word "triacle" = "treacle" is used in the sense of       ointment.
