I. This stone is attributed by Kowminsky to the
1 lth gem of the breastplate of the high priest, and
to the zodiacal sign Aquarius. He refers to is as
lapis lazuli; the Septuagint of Exodus 28:20:
"And the forth row a serpentine, a lapis lazuli,
and a crystal; they shall be set in gold in their
enclosings." see 839 (Greek). For the other
stones of the breastplate see 45, 98, 702, 150,
34.5,395,370,308,84,85.
11. lsdore Kosminsky writes: For reasons state
the sapir is placed in the eleventh division of the
breastplate instead of the shoham, and we thus
have complete harmony between the eleventh
sign of the zodiac Aquarius, the eleventh
division of the breastplate and the sapir stone
which is translated as sapphire in the Hebrew
Bible, the authorized version, the vulgate; as
lapis lazuli or sapphire by Mr. Wodiska, and as
lapis lazuli by Dr. Hirsch, Rev. J.R. Dummelow,
and others. The Targums indicate a stone of blue
color, and that this is the lapis lazuli there is no
reason to doubt. In ancient times the lapis lazuli
was termed sapphirus [Greek, oamyEtpo5 ,
11661; Puny describes it accurately as 'opaque,
sprinkled with specks of gold.' The lapis lazuli
was a very highly esteemed stone amongst the
old world peoples, who called it 'the stone of
heaven', the gem of the starsf, and the Zemech
stone connected with all things heavenly.
Traditionally it is the stone on which was
engraved the law of Moses ... The connector of a
blue stone with the blue heaven is consistent
with ancient philosophy, and authorities agree in
connecting this color with the sign of the mighty
heavens ... Aquarius ... the Lapis lazuli then, is the
stone of the eleventh division of the breastplate
and on it was engraved the name Joseph. [The
