Ruth asks…

What do the twelve stones of the Brest Plate represent ? Ex 28:16-21?

The twelve tribes of Israel ?
The Zodiac ?
Something else ?
Is this how Jewish people choose their birthstone ?

Ex 28:16-21
Exodus 28:16-21 - "It is to be square - a span long and a span wide - and folded double. Then mount four rows of precious stones on it.
in the first row there shall be a ruby, a topaz and a beryl:
In the second row a turquoise, a sapphire and an emerald:
In the third row a jacinth, and agate and a amethyst:
In the fourth row a chrysolite, and onyx and a jasper.
Mount them in gold filigree settings. There are to be twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the tribes". (NIV)

Each stone represents a different tribe of Israel.

Robert asks…

Can I tell you about the one that didn't get away?

Outside the screened in porch, a creek ran by. Well, more like a pond that drained. The Ambassador was Mom's, but she trusted me with it. Those Ozark mornings were well to wake in. Stumble out over crushed agate, past the croquet circle and tool shed, can of worms in hand.

There was this one spinner, red with twin silver blades. Mepps, I think. Never could get it to the back of the hole, but close was close enough. I saw the lure in it then. The maybes, swimming past the could be's, as I wish'es lurked below.

Two Guernsey's, looked through the barb wire, as I measured my summer at The Piney. Paint whinnied and snap peas twisted up the fence rows. I never did hear what brought Dad here in 40', but it was Mom who brought us back in 68'.

I'd Love to tell you about the one that got away, but they never did. I caught them all. Without ever wetting my line.

admin answers:

You threw them back, yes? Just say yes, please. Thank you.

James asks…

what punishment should would you give if your son did this?

ok me and my husband have sex using condoms but today we dropped the kids of at their grandparents house to have sex but when i went to get the condoms i noticed they were jumbled up but didn't bother to invest agate because i was too horny anyway we had sex and realized it had holes in it we were really shocked as i didn't take the pill the next day i saw my seven year old had a small stick and was poking holes in the condom in my room i have tried time out with him doesn't work i have tried about everything and i am now worried that i may get pregnant what would you do in my shoes please help

admin answers:

I'd find a better means of contraception, or hide the codoms a bit better. I'd aso have an abortion if I was pregnant and didn't plan to get knocke up. Just saying...
