The fourth row
This phrase refers to the arrangement of stones on the high priest's breastplate, known as the "breastplate of judgment." The breastplate was a sacred garment worn by the high priest, and it contained twelve stones, each representing one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The fourth row signifies the completion of this divine order, emphasizing the meticulous care and divine instruction involved in the creation of the priestly garments. The number four often symbolizes completeness and universality in biblical numerology, suggesting the comprehensive nature of God's covenant with His people.

had a beryl
Beryl is a precious stone that appears in various colors, including green, blue, and yellow. In the Hebrew text, the word for beryl is "tarshish," which some scholars associate with the region of Tarshish, known for its wealth and trade. Beryl's inclusion in the breastplate signifies beauty and value, reflecting the preciousness of God's people in His sight. The stone's varied colors may also symbolize the diversity and unity within the tribes of Israel.

an onyx
Onyx is a banded stone, often black and white, and is associated with strength and protection. In Hebrew, the word for onyx is "shoham." Onyx stones were also used in the shoulder pieces of the ephod, another part of the high priest's garments, where the names of the tribes of Israel were engraved. This dual use underscores the idea of the high priest bearing the people of Israel before God, both on his shoulders and over his heart, symbolizing intercession and remembrance.

and a jasper
Jasper is a stone that can appear in various colors, often red, green, or brown. The Hebrew word for jasper is "yashpheh." In biblical symbolism, jasper is associated with beauty and strength. It is also mentioned in the Book of Revelation as part of the foundation of the New Jerusalem, indicating its enduring significance and connection to God's eternal promises. The presence of jasper in the breastplate highlights the glory and majesty of God's covenant with Israel.

They were mounted in gold filigree settings
The use of gold filigree settings for the stones emphasizes the importance and sacredness of the high priest's garments. Gold, in biblical symbolism, represents purity, divinity, and kingship. The intricate craftsmanship of the filigree settings reflects the care and precision required in serving God, as well as the beauty and holiness of the priestly office. This detail reminds believers of the value God places on His people and the care He takes in preparing them for His service. The gold settings also serve as a reminder of the heavenly reality that the earthly tabernacle and its furnishings were meant to represent, pointing to the ultimate fulfillment of God's plan in Christ.
