Read Exodus 39 in context

Scripture Focus

10And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.

11And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

12And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.

13And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.

14And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.

Exodus 39:10-14

Biblical Context

Four rows of stones, encased in gold, bear the names of the twelve tribes, symbolizing a complete, ordered unity within Israel.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you there lies an inner breastplate, a gallery of stones arranged in sacred order. Each gem is a state of consciousness you claim with the I AM awake in you. The names engraved on the stones are the twelve facets of your being—not external tribes, but qualities that must become present as one united people within your own awareness. The four rows signify the four quarters of your life: vitality, truth, harmony, and service; the gold encasings denote the priceless value of awareness that keeps them safe and connected. When you sit in quiet and imagine this breastplate, you are not seeking God outside; you are recognizing the I AM as the very presence that holds these aspects in perfect order. Calling and arranging the stones is a revision of your inner self, a covenant you renew with every breath. Your imagination becomes the signet that seals this truth into your experience, turning scattered impulses into a cohesive Israel within you, lifting you into unity with all life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and place four rows of gems around your chest, each gem named with a quality you seek. Then feel the I AM holding them in unity, as if the twelve tribes are already yours.
