Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 12. - Stones of memorial unto the children of Israel. Rather "for the children of Israel" - stones, i.e. which should serve to remind God that the high priest represented the twelve tribes, officiated in their name, and pleaded on their behalf. CHAPTER 28:13-30

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) For stones of memorial unto the children of Israel.--Rather, for the children of Israel. The intention was that the stones should be "stones of memorial" to God, on behalf of Israel; should remind God that the high priest represented all the tribes, and pleaded before Him on their behalf, and in their name. The tribes were represented doubly in the costume of the high priest, by the onyx stones and by the stones of the breastplate.
