the third row
The phrase "the third row" refers to the arrangement of stones on the breastpiece of judgment worn by the High Priest. This breastpiece was a sacred garment, part of the priestly vestments, and was designed according to divine instructions given to Moses. The number three often symbolizes completeness or divine perfection in biblical numerology, suggesting that this row, like the others, was part of a complete and perfect design ordained by God.

had a jacinth
The "jacinth" is a precious stone, likely referring to a deep blue or purple gem, possibly the modern-day zircon. In Hebrew, the word used is "leshem," which is associated with the tribe of Gad. The color and brilliance of the jacinth may symbolize the heavenly realm and divine truth, reflecting the glory and majesty of God. Historically, jacinth was valued for its beauty and rarity, often used in royal and religious settings.

an agate
The "agate" is a banded stone, known for its variety of colors and patterns. The Hebrew term "shebo" is linked to the tribe of Asher. Agates were prized in ancient times for their supposed protective and healing properties. Spiritually, the agate's diverse colors can represent the multifaceted nature of God's creation and His providence, as well as the unity and diversity within the body of believers.

and an amethyst
The "amethyst" is a purple stone, associated with the Hebrew word "achlamah," linked to the tribe of Issachar. Amethyst has been historically valued for its beauty and was believed to have protective qualities. The purple color is often associated with royalty and priesthood, symbolizing the dignity and authority of the High Priest's role. In a broader spiritual sense, the amethyst can represent sobriety, wisdom, and spiritual insight, qualities essential for those who serve in God's presence.
