**The whole BDB entry:** n.\[m.\] jasper (loan-word from Pers. يَشْم; so Arabic يَشْبٌ Lane2978, also (and on forms يَشْفٌ, يَشْمٌ) Frey; perhaps Assyrian ašpû DlHA 36, HWB 147)—תַּרְשִׁישׁ וְשֹׁהַם וְיָֽשְׁפֵ֑ה Ex 28:20; 39:13 (both P) beryl and onyx and jasper (v. Di); וְיָֽשְׁפֶ֔ה (+ id.) Ez 28:13 (v. Sm).

Why these entries: BDB: headword, part of speech agrees, 3 of its verses cited, 1 words shared with the glosses (7 candidates); OSHB: headword, part of speech agrees, 1 words shared with the BDB entry, 1 with the glosses (4 candidates)
