Reference: Jewels and Precious Stones
Hastings
The greater number of the precious stones in the Bible occur in three lists which it will be instructive to tabulate at the outset. These are: (A) the stones in the high priest's breastplate (Ex 28:17-20; 39:10-13); (B) those in the 'covering' of the king of Tyre (Eze 28:13); (C) those in the foundation of the New Jerusalem (Re 21:19-20). The three lists are to some extent mutually connected. A contains 12 stones. B in Heb. has 9, all taken from A, with traces of A's order in their arrangement. In Septuagint the two lists are identical, and possibly the Heb. of B is corrupt. C also has 12 stones, and is evidently partly dependent on the Septuagint of A and B.
It seems likely that in List A as well as in List B the Septuagint iaspis corresponds to the Heb. yashepheh, and that the sixth and twelfth names in the Heb. of A have been interchanged.
