Exodus 39

“Then Moses inspected all their work. When he found it had been done just as the Lord had commanded him, he blessed them” (Exodus 39:43)

What gets inspected doesn’t get neglected. Good leaders know that delegated tasks aren’t complete until inspected. And wise leaders know how to give out a blessing to those who have served well. Leader tip: Inspect and bless.

“Then they mounted four rows of precious stones on it. In the first row there was a ruby” (Exodus 39:10)

Every time I read this description of the breastplate for the high priest, I try to determine which stone goes with each tribe. There are many opinions, but I believe that this first stone symbolizes the tribe of Judah, David, and Jesus. Both its first place and red color point to our Lord and Savior.
