Sun’s Path
Another Thought on the Breastplate
I had another thought concerning the order of the Breastplate. If the constellations were to be
followed more closely for the messages received on the Breastplate, in other words, look like the
sun’s path through the zodiac, then they would line up a little differently. My thought was if the
Urim and Thummim acted sort of like the sun and/or moon highlighting each stone as God
highlights each constellation, then some liberty would have to be taken with the translations.
The signs for Gad and Benjamin would be switched, along with Simeon and Issachar. But all in
all, it wouldn’t take much change to align it this way, and it would bring about a whole new level
of understanding and importance to the constellations.
I still lean towards the first arrangement, but the layout below is interesting.
