Commentary on Exodus 28:21
The stones correspond to Israel's twelve tribes by name, engraved like a signet ring. The phrase 'each according to his name' (אִישׁ עַל־שְׁמוֹ, ish al-sh'mo) emphasizes individual identity. God doesn't blur distinctions but celebrates them while maintaining unity. Signet engraving suggests ownership and authority—these names are officially God's, authenticated by His seal. Christ knows His sheep by name (John 10:3), each permanently engraved on His priestly heart.
