Throughout Scripture God uses symbolism to teach His children about their walk with Him and their heritage as Christians. Within these pages you'll discover the colorful symbolism encapsulated within the Breastplate of Judgment worn by the High Priest in the Old Testament. Just as the High Priest of the Old Testament symbolizes Jesus Christ, the properties of the stones on the Breastplate symbolize the characteristics God is looking for in His royal priesthood, the members of His mighty army. If we emulate these characteristics we can become precious stones in God's eyes just as Malachi 3:17 depicts, "'And they shall be mine, ' said the Lord of Host, 'in that day when I make up my jewels.'" In this world of violence, wars, evil, and injustice God is looking for a people that will be His shining light. He's looking for a people who agree with Him that righteousness and salvation shall reign. Time is short. Are you willing to do your part to become one of God's precious jewels?

Since the translation of the Septuagint in the 3rd century BCE, scholars have attempted to identify the stones that populate the biblical text. This study rejects the long-standing reliance on ancient translations for identifying biblical stones. Despite the evident contradictions and historical inconsistencies, scholars traditionally presumed these translations to be reliable. By departing from this approach, this volume presents a novel synthesis of comparative linguistics and archeogemological data. Through rigorous analysis of valid cognates, it establishes correlations between Hebrew stone names and their counterparts in ancient languages, corresponding to known mineral species. This methodological shift enables a more accurate identification of stones mentioned in biblical texts, thus recovering their true historical context. The research not only advances our understanding of biblical mineralogy but also provides a fresh perspective on the material culture of the Ancient Levant, offering valuable insights for scholars and laymen, linguists and archaeologists alike.

Women of African Ancestry Shine With the Beauty, Value, and Uniqueness of Precious Jewels. If any race of women should recognize that their value is far above rubies, pearls, and sapphires, says author Terri McFaddin, it is those of African ancestry. Like precious gemstones formed within the earth, we have endured hard times, the heat of adversity, and intense pressures, and have come out of the fire as a rare and beautiful treasure. We have made tremendous progress in the struggle for racial equality. Yet many women of color do not fully understand their true worth and God-given potential. Exploring vital biblical truths, Sapphires and Other Precious Jewels empowers us to recognize and fully embrace the qualities that make us precious, valuable, and strong–sapphires of great price. Explore the Treasured Qualities of Black Women Through the Twelve Jewels in the Breastplate of the High Priest. As you examine the scriptural principles drawn from Exodus 28, you’ll discover, perhaps for the first time, that your beauty is both natural and spiritual, that God created and affirms your beauty and uniqueness, and that he calls you to demonstrate and celebrate the extraordinary ways in which you are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Historically, the book of Exodus treats of the deliverance of Israel from Egypt; but viewed doctrinally, it deals with redemption. Just as the first book of the Bible teaches that God elects unto salvation, so the second instructs us how God saves, namely, by redemption. Redemption, then, is the dominant subject of Exodus. Following this, we are shown what we are redeemed for-worship, and this characterizes Leviticus, where we learn of the holy requirements of God and the gracious provisions He has made to meet these. In Numbers we have the walk and warfare of the wilderness, where we have a typical representation of our experiences as we pass through this scene of sin and trial-our repeated and excuseless failures, and God's long-sufferance and faithfulness.
