Exode 28:10 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 28:10

Six of their names on one stone
The names of the six eldest on the stone upon the right shoulder:

and the other six names of the rest on the other stone:
the names of the six youngest on the stone upon the left shoulder; for these stones, as afterwards said, were put on the shoulders of the priests,

according to their birth;
the order of it; so that upon the first stone were engraven the names of Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, and Naphtali; and on the second stone the names of Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin; and so they are disposed by Jarchi, with whom Josephus agrees F1; though some Jewish writers, and particularly Maimonides F2, place them otherwise; but this seems most agreeable to the letter and sense of the text.

Exode 28:10 In-Context

8 La ceinture sera du même travail que l'éphod et fixée sur lui; elle sera d'or, de fil bleu, pourpre et cramoisi, et de fin lin retors.
9 Tu prendras deux pierres d'onyx, et tu y graveras les noms des fils d'Israël,
10 six de leurs noms sur une pierre, et les six autres sur la seconde pierre, d'après l'ordre des naissances.
11 Tu graveras sur les deux pierres les noms des fils d'Israël, comme on grave les pierres et les cachets; tu les entoureras de montures d'or.
12 Tu mettras les deux pierres sur les épaulettes de l'éphod, en souvenir des fils d'Israël; et c'est comme souvenir qu'Aaron portera leurs noms devant l'Eternel sur ses deux épaules.
