Dear Lionheart, According to the Jerusalem Targum: Row one: Reuben, Simeon, Levi Row two: Judah, Issachar, Zebulun Row three: Dan, Naphtali, Gad Row four: Zebulon, Ephraim, Benjamin I'm uncertain why it was Ephraim and not Manasseh and Ephraim, but perhaps Manasseh was implied. There are Jewish superstitions about the "powers" of these kinds of stones. There are, apparently, reasons for associating the types of stones with the individual tribes, but I'm not sure that those reasons can be stated exhaustively and conclusively. The Targums do not explain. In Him, Doc |

Dear Brother Lionheart, I can't seem to locate the Targum Jerusalem online -- maybe someone else knows? The Pseudo-Jonathan and Onkelos are at the following site: http://www.tulane.edu/x7Entcs/pj/psjon.htm (Change the x to a percent sign.) Keep in mind that these are extra-Biblical. Anything they say should be taken with a pretty jaundiced eye! Often they don't agree with the Bible or even one another. Speaking of questionable -- oy vay! -- you can also check to see if the Talmud has anything pertinent to say about it. (I haven't checked.) http://www.sacred-texts.com/jud/talmud.htm One last place... if you are very, very friendly... you might get some brief answers from http://askmoses.com/ In Him, Doc |
