Beryl is often associated with a sea-green color and is mentioned in other biblical contexts, such as in <a href="/ezekiel/1-16.htm">Ezekiel 1:16</a>, where it describes the appearance of the wheels in Ezekiel's vision. Onyx is a stone that appears in <a href="/genesis/2-12.htm">Genesis 2:12</a>, associated with the land of Havilah, and is often linked to strength and endurance. Jasper, a stone of varied colors, is mentioned in <a href="/revelation/21-11.htm">Revelation 21:11</a> as part of the New Jerusalem's foundation, symbolizing beauty and glory. These stones represent the tribes of Israel, each stone corresponding to a specific tribe, though the exact tribal associations are not detailed in this passage. The use of precious stones signifies the value and importance of the tribes before God.<p><b>Mount these stones in gold filigree settings.</b><br>The instruction to mount the stones in gold filigree settings highlights the craftsmanship and care involved in creating the high priest's garments. Gold, a symbol of purity and divinity, is used extensively in the tabernacle and its furnishings, reflecting God's holiness and majesty. The filigree work, a delicate and intricate design, underscores the beauty and precision required in worship and service to God. This craftsmanship can be seen as a type of Christ, who is the ultimate High Priest, embodying perfection and divine beauty. The use of gold also connects to the heavenly city described in Revelation, where gold is a prominent feature, symbolizing the eternal and unblemished nature of God's kingdom.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/high_priest.htm">High Priest</a></b><br>The passage refers to the breastplate of the High Priest, a significant figure in Israelite worship who served as a mediator between God and the people.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/b/breastplate_of_judgment.htm">Breastplate of Judgment</a></b><br>This is the specific garment being described, which was worn by the High Priest.
