EXODUS 39:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.”
Then they mounted four rows of precious stones on it. The first row was carnelian, chrysolite and beryl. The twelve precious stones of the breastpiece mounted in four rows of three are constructed exactly as Exodus 28:17 specified. Carnelian, chrysolite, and beryl in the first row: the spectrum of tribal representation begins. Each stone is the name and character of a tribe, brought before God in the most precious form available. The diversity of colors communicates the diversity within the covenant community.
