Exo 24:10 and
they saw the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, and under His feet like a brick/labanah
H3840 labour/masah H4639 of sapphire stone/sappyir H5601,
and like the bones/atsam H6109 of the heavens for purifying/tohar
H2892.
Exo 24:10 is a
description of the Aluahym of Yasharal given by Masha/Moses when he along with
Aharon, Nadab and Abihu and 70 elders of Yasharal were called up the mountain.
Most of the translations read the
above verse as:
Exo 24:10 and
they saw the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, and under His feet like a paved work of
sapphire stone, and like the heavens for brightness. ISR 1998
Exo 24:10 And
they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved
work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. KJV
Exo 24: 10 and saw
the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of lapis
lazuli, as bright blue as the sky. NIV
The English
translations do not bring out the imagery of the Aluahym of Yasharal (Israel)
seen by his servants. The Hebrew brings out the beautiful imagery when we look
at the words closely in the passage.
The first word we
need to look at in the passage is the Hebrew word 'labanah' where 'laban' in
Hebrew means 'white' and this word is translated in English translations as
'paved/pavment'
The same word
'H3843 labanah' means 'brick/tile'
Gen 11:3 And
they said to each other, “Come, let us make bricks/labanah H3843 and
bake them thoroughly.” And they had brick/labanah H3843 for
stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.
The Gen 11:3
passage is of the strong tower that they were building in the land of Shinar to
reach the heavens and Yahuah later dispersed them all over the earth by
confusing their languages.
Exo 1:14 and they made their/ Yasharalites lives bitter with
hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick/labanah H3843, and in all
kinds of work in the field, all their work which they made them do was with
harshness.
Exo 5:7 “You
are no longer to give the people straw to make bricks/labanah
H3843 as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
The Egyptians made
the lives of the Yasharalites bitter with hard bondage in their labour of
making bricks/labanah.
The Hebrew word
'masah H4639' is from the word 'asah' which means 'do/work'. Thus 'masah'
is 'something made through labour' and what is being made here is 'bricks' of
sappyir’
This is how a
'sappiyr' looks
It is a blue royal
stone used as the 'fifth' stone in the high priest’s breastplate. The fifth stone from left to right in the image below is the sappiyr
Exo 28:17 “And you shall put settings of
stones in it, four rows of stones: The first row is a sardius/odem, a topaz/pitdah,
and an carbuncle/bareqath;
Exo 28:18 and the second row is an emerald/nophek,
a sapphire/sappiyr, and a diamond/yahalom;
Exo 28:19 and the third row is a ligure/lasham,
an agate/shabu, and an amethyst/achlamah;
Exo 28:20 and the fourth row is a beryl/tarshiysh,
and a onyx/shoham, and a jasper/yashpah. They are set in gold settings.
Exo 28:21 “And the stones are according to the names of
the sons of Yisra’ĕl, twelve according to their names, like the engravings of a
signet, each one with its own name, for the twelve tribes.
While the order of
the tribes differs in Gen 49, Deuteronomy 33 & Revelation 7, it is
difficult to plot each tribe against a stone because the tribes are not placed
in order. Moreover, in Deuteronomy 33 the tribe of Simeon is missing because
Yaaqob prophesied that Levi and Simeon will be scattered in Yasharal. We see as
stated in Joshua 19:1-9 that Simeon found his inheritance within Yahudah.
Jos 19:1 And the second lot came out for Shimʽon,
for the tribe of the children of Shimʽon
for their clans. And their inheritance was within the inheritance of the
children of Yehuḏah.
Jos 19:2 And they had in their
inheritance Be’ĕrsheḇa, or Sheḇa,
and Molaḏah,
Jos 19:3 and Hatsar Shuʽal,
and Balah, and Etsem,
Jos 19:4 and Eltolaḏ,
and Bethul, and Ḥormah,
Jos 19:5 and Tsiqlaḡ,
and Bĕyth Markaḇoth, and Ḥatsar Susah,
Jos 19:6 and Bĕyth Leḇa’oth,
and Sharuḥen – thirteen cities and their villages.
Jos 19:7 Ayin, Rimmon, and Ether, and
Ashan – four cities and their villages;
Jos 19:8 and all the villages that were
all around these cities as far as Baʽalath Be’ĕr, Ramath Neḡeḇ.
This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Shimʽon
for their clans.
Jos 19:9 The inheritance of the children
of Shimʽon was out of the portion of the
children of Yehuḏah, for the portion of the children of
Yehuḏah was too much for them. So the
children of Shimʽon had their inheritance within their
inheritance.
Gen 49:5 “Shimʽon
and Lĕwi are brothers, their weapons are implements of violence.
Gen 49:6 “Let my being not enter their
council, let my esteem not be united to their assembly; because they slew a man
in their displeasure, and they lamed an ox in pleasure.
Gen 49:7 “Cursed be their displeasure
for it is fierce, and their wrath for it is cruel! I divide them in Yaʽaqoḇ
and scatter them in Yisra’ĕl.
Jos 13:33 But to the tribe of Lĕwi
Mosheh gave no inheritance. יהוה, Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, He was their
inheritance, as He had said to them.
While Simeon was omitted from Moses'
final blessing, Levi (Moses' own tribe) was included, because it was to be the
designated priestly tribe of Yasharal. But, like Simeon, the Levites also did
not have a separate portion of the Promised Land allocated to them, since they
were to be devoted wholly to leading the people in worship of Yahuah, and would
be sustained by the people's offerings to Yahuah, rather than working the land
and living off its produce.
Deu 33:8 And of Lĕwi he said, “Your Tummim and Your Urim belong to Your
kind one, whom You tried at Massah, with whom You contended at the waters
of Meriḇah,
Deu 33:9 who said of his father and
mother, ‘I have not seen them.’ And he did not acknowledge his brothers, or
know his own children, for they have guarded Your Word and watched over Your
covenant.
Deu
33:10 “They teach Your right-rulings to Yaʽaqoḇ,
and Your Torah to Yisra’ĕl. They put incense before You, and a complete burnt
offering on Your altar.
Deu
33:11 “O יהוה,
bless his strength, and accept the work of his hands. Smite the loins of those
who rise against him, and of those who hate him, that they rise no more.”
The Urim and the
Tummim were two precious stones put in a small bag and placed near the heart of
the high priest within the ephod. The high priest was from the tribe of Levi.
Exo 28:30 “And into the breastplate of
right-ruling you shall put the Urim and the Tummim, and they shall be on the
heart of Aharon when he goes in before יהוה.
And Aharon shall bear the right-ruling of the children of Yisra’ĕl on his heart
before יהוה, continually.
Hence, we see in the precious stone of
the breastplate Levi’s name had to be plotted while Simeon found himself in
Yahudah.
Also, tribe of Yoseph had become two
tribes and it was prophesied that his portion will be one more than his
brethren
Jos 14:4 For the children of Yosĕph had become two tribes: Menashsheh and
Ephrayim. And they gave no part to the Lĕwites in the land, except cities
to dwell in, with their open land for their livestock and their possessions.
Gen 48:21 And Yisra’ĕl said to Yosĕph,
“See, I am dying, but Elohim shall be with you and bring you back to the land
of your fathers.
Gen 48:22 “And I, I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which
I took from the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.”
The reader would be confused when
reading Revelation 7:7 in the context of seeing 12 tribe’s names on the 12
precious stones on the high priest’s breastplate because Shimon was scattered
in Yasharal and found his inheritance in Yahudah. Please note that Revelation 7
is in context of salvation given to the remnant from the 12 tribes and how can
Shimon be left out? If you read Rev 7, the tribe Dan is missing because they
were cut off as prophesied because Dan means judge and this tribe worked
wickedness in setting up their own priesthood and golden calf in the days of
Yeroboam the king of Yasharal.
Rev 7:7 of the tribe of Shimʽon twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Lĕwi twelve thousand
were sealed, of the tribe of Yissasḵar twelve thousand were sealed,
Gen 49:16 “Dan shall judge his people as
one of the tribes of Yisra’ĕl.
Gen 49:17 “Dan is a serpent by the way, an adder by the path, that bites the
horse’s heels so that its rider falls backward.
Gen 49:18 “I have waited for your
deliverance, O יהוה!
Even Yahuchanan
describes the foundations of the New Yerushalayim were adorned with every kind
of precious stone and names 12 precious stones as in the high priest’s
breastplate but not in any particular order. The names of the stones in
Revelation 21 are translated from Greek to English and that’s why they differ in
comparison to the high priest’s breastplate stones. While some of the stones
matches the high priest’s breastplate stones, the reader would be confused as
there are few other stones which have been translated differently in English.
Our English translation:
Rev 21:19 And the foundations of the
wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first
foundation jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,
Rev 21:20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth
ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth
chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
Revised translation:
Rev 21:19 And the
foundations of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone.
The first foundation was jasper/yashpah; the second, sapphire/sappiyr; the
third, agate/shabu; the fourth, carbuncle/bareqath;
Rev 21:20 the
fifth, diamond/yahalom; the sixth, sardius/odem; the seventh, beryl/tarshiysh;
the eighth, onyx/shoham; the ninth, topaz/pitdah; the tenth, emerald/nophek;
the eleventh, ligure/lasham; the twelfth, amethyst/achlamah.
OT translation of Hebrew to English:
Exo 28:17 “And you shall put settings of
stones in it, four rows of stones: The first row is a sardius/odem, a topaz/pitdah,
and a carbuncle/bareqath;
Exo 28:18 and the second row is an emerald/nophek,
a sapphire/sappiyr, and a diamond/yahalom;
Exo 28:19 and the third row is a ligure/lasham,
an agate/shabu, and an amethyst/achlamah;
Exo 28:20 and the fourth row is a beryl/tarshiysh,
and a onyx/shoham, and a jasper/yashpah. They are set in gold settings.
The stones are in
no particular order and that is because of what Yahusha says that he will
give the labanah/white aban/stone with a new name written which no one knows
but he who receives it
Rev 2:17 “He who
has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who
overcomes, I shall give to eat of the hidden manna, and I shall give
him a white or brick/labanah stone, and a new name written on the stone which
no one knows but he who receives it.”
While many people are busy plotting themselves in the tribe belonging they
fail to see that this naming is given by Yahusha himself and that’s why
scriptures didn’t allow the plotting of the names in the Renewed covenant yet.
Rom 2:28 For
he is not a Yehuḏite who is so outwardly, neither is
circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.
Rom 2:29 But a
Yehuḏite is he who is so inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in
Spirit/Ruach, not literally, whose praise is not from men but from Elohim.
The stones in order as seen in Exo 28
with their spiritual significance:
1) Sardius: Adam-Adam
2) Topaz: Pitdah-
Pey/mouth tet/body dah/attack: Mouth of
the body attacked

written in the scroll of the hand by which Yah is bound by his breath to turn
to his brother in being compassion bound to bring them back in ships of Tarshiysh on
the waters for whom he was hand striken
Exposition: Adam ate of the
fruit (by the mouth) and sinned (attacked) for which the Son was thrust/pierced
by the sword for his seed (Adamic race) as written in the scroll of the hand by
which Yah is breath bound to turn to them as a brother in compassion to bring
them back in the ships of Tarshiysh on the waters for whom he was hand striken.
Lu 2:35 (Yea, a
sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts
may be revealed.
Isa 60:9 “Because the coastlands wait for Me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from afar,
their silver and their gold with them, to the Name of יהוה
your Elohim, and to the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl, because He has adorned you.
Rev 21:19 And the
foundations of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone.
The first foundation was jasper/yashpah; the second, sapphire/sappiyr; the
third, agate/shabu; the fourth, carbuncle/bareqath;
Rev 21:20 the
fifth, diamond/yahalom; the sixth, sardius/odem; the seventh, beryl/tarshiysh;
the eighth, onyx/shoham; the ninth, topaz/pitdah; the tenth, emerald/nophek;

Hand stricken as
written in the scroll of the hand to turn and to be thrust with the sword. Yah bound
with Adam on the ships of Tarshiysh in the waters whose mouth of the body attacked
the seed poured out by his breath by which the brother bound in compassion.
Exposition: Yahusha was
stricken in his hands as written in the scroll (prophesied) and he is Yah who
is bound with Adam (taking his seed) as the merchandise to be brought on the
ships of Tarshiysh in the waters whose (Adam’s) mouth of the body attacked the
seed poured out by his breath/sham or nashama (Adamic race) by which the
brother (Yahusha) bound in compassion.
Heb 2:13 And again, “I shall put My
trust in Him.” And again, “See, I and the children whom Elohim gave Me.”
Heb
2:14 Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself
similarly shared in the same, so that by means of His death He might destroy
him having the power of death, that is, the devil,
Heb 2:15 and deliver those who
throughout life were held in slavery by fear of death.
Heb 2:16 For, doubtless, He does not
take hold of messengers, but He does take hold of the seed of Aḇraham.
Heb 2:17 So in every way He had to be made like His brothers, in order to
become a compassionate and trustworthy High Priest in matters related to
Elohim, to make atonement for the sins of the people.
1Co 15:45 And so it has been written,
“The first man Aḏam became a living being,” the last Aḏam
(Yahusha) a life-giving Spirit/Ruach.
Heb 2:12 saying, “I shall announce Your Name to My brothers, in the midst of the
congregation I shall sing praise to You.”
The foundation of the wall of New
Yerushalayim is the basarah
Eph 2:20 having been built upon the
foundation of the emissaries and prophets, יהושע
Messiah Himself being chief corner-stone,
Eph 2:21 in whom all the building, being
joined together, grows into a set-apart Dwelling Place in יהוה,
Eph 2:22 in whom you also are being
built together into a dwelling of Elohim in the Spirit.
Now when we read Exo 24:10 it makes perfect sense to see
that the Aluahym of Yasharal under whose feet (subdued) was the brick labour of
sappyir/hand written scroll which he fulfilled and prevailed over…remember the
Torah came first written on tablets of stone. This is likened to the bones
(many translations say ‘body’ but etsem/atsam in Hebrew means ‘bones’) of the
heavens for purifying.
Exo 24:10 and
they saw the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, and under His feet like a brick/labanah
H3840 labour/masah H4639 of sapphire stone/sappyir H5601,
and like the bones/atsam H6109 of the heavens for purifying/tohar
H2892.
Gen 2:23 And the man said, “This is now bone/atsam H6106 of my
bones/atsam H6106 and flesh of my flesh. This one is called ‘woman,’
because she was taken out of man.”
Eph 5:30 Because we are members of His
body, of His flesh/basar and of His
bones/atsam.
We are in the image of the earthy i.e. Adam of his flesh
and bones and will be transformed into the image of the heavenly man i.e.
Yahusha. The entire blue print of Torah stands on the atsam/bones of the
heavens for purifying.
The word ‘tohar’ H2892 is from H2891 and
means ‘A primitive root; properly to be bright; that is, (by
implication) to be pure (physically sound, clear, unadulterated;
Levitically uncontaminated; morally innocent or holy): -
be (make, make self, pronounce) clean, cleanse (self), purge, purify (-ier,
self)’
That is why it was prophesied ‘Not one
of his bone/atsam will be broken’
Psa 34:20 He is guarding all his
bones/atsam H6106; Not one of them is broken.
Joh 19:36 For this took place in order
for the Scripture to be filled: “Not one of His bones/atsam shall be broken.”
The other thing I want to bring to the
attention of the reader of the robe of Yoseph of many colors just as the
diverse colors of the precious stones in the high priest’s breastplate and also
in the foundation wall of New Yerushalayim. We all know the story of Yoseph as
to how his brothers were jealous of him and sold him to the Ishmaelites and
dipped his robe in the blood of a kid of a goat and showed it to their father
Yaaqob lying to him that an evil beast tore Yoseph apart.
Gen
37:3 Now Israel loved Yoseph more than all his children, because he was
the son of his old age: and he made him a coat/katannath H3801 of many colours/pas
H6646.
‘Pas’ H6646
comes from the word ‘pas’ H6647 which means ‘palm/wrist of the hand or foot spread
out’. It is also a root word in ‘Pesach’ H6453 which means Passover which have
root words ‘pas’ which means ‘palm or wrist or foot’ and remember Yahusha our
Savior was nailed in the wrist of his hands and feet, and the other root word
is ‘sach’ H7808 which means ‘thought/meditate’. Pesach spiritually means to
bring to mind his nail pierced wrists and feet.
Gen 37:31 And they took Yoseph's
coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
Gen 37:32 And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it
to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's
coat or no.
Gen 37:33 And he knew it, and
said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Yoseph is without
doubt rent in pieces.
This coat of
many colours his brethren dipped in the blood of goats and lied to their father
that Yoseph was killed by an evil beast.
We all know
the story of Yoseph how he was sold to the Ishmaelites and then to Potiphar and
from there landed in prison and to be the Prime minister of Egypt. Didn’t he
give command to the Yasharalites to bring his bones/atsam with them after
Yahuah has delivered them from Egypt.
Gen 50:24 And Yosĕph said to his
brothers, “I am dying, but Elohim shall certainly visit you and bring you out
of this land to the land of which He swore to Aḇraham, to Yitshaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ.”
Gen 50:25 And Yosĕph made the
children of Yisra’ĕl swear, saying, “Elohim
shall certainly visit you, and you shall bring up my bones/atsam H6106 from
here.”
Gen 50:26 And Yosĕph died, being one hundred and ten
years old. And they embalmed him, and he was placed in a coffin in Mitsrayim.
Heb 11:22 By belief, Yosĕph, when he
was dying, made mention of the outgoing of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and gave orders concerning his bones/atsam.
The carrying of Yoseph’s bones/atsam
was figurative of the deliverance of Yasharal from captivity and bondage to
come into the promised land.
Hence when we
read Exo 24:10 we see under the feet of the Aluahym of Yasharal a brick labour
(the furnace affliction as the bondage his people were in and made bricks in
Egypt) of sappiyr/scroll written by hand which he prevailed, a blue print
pattern (sappiyr is blue in color) like the bones/atsam of the heavens for
cleansing/purifying. He became part of the suffering and prevailed to deliver
us from the bitter bondage through which he purifies us conforming us to the
heavenly blue print.
Exo 24:10 and
they saw the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, and under His feet like a brick/labanah
H3840 labour/masah H4639 of sapphire stone/sappyir H5601,
and like the bones/atsam H6109 of the heavens for purifying/tohar
H2892.
Isa 54:10 “For though the mountains be removed and the
hills be shaken, My kindness is not removed from you, nor is My covenant of
peace shaken,” said יהוה, who has compassion on you.
Isa 54:11 “O you afflicted one, tossed with storm, and not comforted, see, I am setting your stones in fair
colors, and shall lay your
foundations with sapphires/sappyir H5601,
Isa 54:12 and shall make your battlements of rubies,
your gates of crystal, and all your walls of precious stones,
Isa 54:13 and all your children taught by יהוה, and the peace
of your children great.
Isa 54:14 “In righteousness you shall be established – far from oppression, for
you shall not fear, and far from ruin, for it does not come near you.
Eze 1:25 And a voice came from above the expanse that
was over their heads. When they stood, they dropped their wings.
Eze 1:26 And above the expanse over
their heads was the likeness of a
throne, in appearance like a
sapphire/sappiyr H5601 stone/aban H68. And
on the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man high above it.
Eze 1:27 And from the appearance of
His waist and upward I saw what looked like glowing metal with the appearance
of fire all around within it. And from the appearance of His waist and downward
I saw what looked like fire, and brightness all around.
Eze 1:28 As the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was
the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the
likeness of the esteem of יהוה. And when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of
One speaking.
Luk 24:39 “See My hands and My feet,
that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a ruach does not have flesh/basar
and bones/atsam as you see I have.”
Yahusha is the Aluahym of Yasharal, the blue print of the
bones/atsam of the heavens for purifying. He became part of the creation and
put in the furnace of affliction and prevailed and is the pattern to be
followed as only he can deliver us from captivity and bondage.
Finally, the sapphire/sappyir is number 5 stone in the
high priest’s breastplate and number 5 in scripture is significant because his
creation man has five fingers, five senses and five toes. Thus, it is a number
of Aluahym’s grace.
The same stone is as number 2 in the New Yerushalam’s
foundation and number two means ‘witness’ and shows the ‘division in unison’,
the union we have in him in the covenant renewed (OT and NT) and made one in
him. The number two shows the division ‘Father and Son’ and yet One/in unison
just as the word ‘stone/aban’ shows ‘aban/stone has both the Abh/Father and the
Ban/Son. The foundation the chief cornerstone, the sappiyr stone shows both the
division in unison.
