Breastplate of the Hebrew High Priest ~ Aaron
By: Giovann Maria Morlaiter
Each stone represented a tribe of Israel.

Additional, on his shoulders, there were to be two onyx stones. The skilled artists were to engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel. They were to place six of their names on the one stone and the names of the remaining six on the other stone, according to their birth.
