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.
The Topaz’s significance in conjunction to Levi is not explicit in any Biblical verses, but it’s clear that it connotes a brilliance that rivals the value of wisdom: “Topaz from Nubia cannot match its value; Pure gold cannot be weighed against it. But whence does wisdom come? Where is the source of understanding?” (Job 28:19-20). By fulfilling their divine role, the Levites were able to withstand the test of time and persevere till this day, while 10 out of the 12 Tribes were tragically lost. Fortunately, the Topaz of Levi continues to shine its light and its wellsprings of wisdom endure.
