IT IS NO COINCIDENCE THAT A BLUE SAPPHIRE WAS FEATURED ON THE PRIESTLY BREASTPLATE AS A REPRESENTATION OF ISSACHAR—A HOMAGE TO THE TRIBE’S PROMINENT STATUS AS EDUCATORS IN THE FIELDS OF SPIRITUALITY AND LAW—AS THE GEMSTONE WAS THE MATERIAL G-D USED TO FORM THE TABLETS GIVEN TO MOSES. IN A RARE OCCURRENCE OF A MASS REVELATION, MOSES, AARON, NADAB, ABIHU, AND 70 ELDERS EXPERIENCED A SHARED PROPHETIC VISION AT SINAI, DESCRIBING THE “FEET” OF THE DIVINE AS SAPPHIRE PAVEMENT. KING SOLOMON USED SAPPHIRES AS A METAPHOR FOR THE BEAUTY OF THE DIVINE, AS STATED IN SONG OF SONGS 5:14, “HIS HANDS ARE RODS OF GOLD, STUDDED WITH BERYL; HIS BELLY A TABLET OF IVORY, ADORNED WITH SAPPHIRES.”
