Tribe of Levi

RADIATING WISDOM

As the 3rd son of Jacob, Levi has left a lasting legacy that forever changed the world for the good. From his seed came Moses, the greatest of all Prophets, and Aaron, the first High Priest of Israel. Levi’s legacy started off on the wrong foot, as he was involved in the scandal of Shechem. However, Jacob blessed his descendants and they were up to the task, as the tribe repeatedly chose good over evil in the most trying moments in history. The most famous instance was their steadfast loyalty to Moses during the Golden Calf ordeal. Their relentless devotion to the Law of Moses and their responsibility in transmitting it from generation to generation is personified by the brilliance of the Topaz, as it radiates like the wisdom passed down by Levi.
