Exegesis

The connective de {δὲ | dè} links this sentence to the preceding context in the parable, while hena {ἕνα | hé-na} ‘one’ and polytimon {πολύτιμον | polýtimon} ‘very precious’ precede margaritēn {μαργαρίτην | margarítēn} and together form a tightly focused noun phrase, emphasizing the singular and exceptional value of the pearl.

Root and etymology

In contextMatthew 13:46

But when he had found one very precious pearl , he went away and sold all that he had and bought it.
