Does This Ephod-with-Memorial-Stones Still Exist Somewhere?
« on: February 05, 2014, 12:50:31 pm »
In Exodus, God told Moses to make a worship-costume for Aaron---with a special breastplate that held two special stones, attached to an ephod that had two more special stones engraved with the names of the 12 children of Israel (coz apparently either Dinah or Joseph didn't count anymore), and a garter set with 12 stones for the 12 tribes.

Sounds like an important relic, so where is it now?

I would think for the same reason why God buried Moses privately......

Moses was 120 years of age at the time of his death. Testifying to his natural strength, the Bible comments: “His eye had not grown dim, and his vital strength had not fled.” He was buried by Jehovah in a location never since discovered. (De 34:5-7) Likely, this was to prevent the Israelites from being ensnared into false worship by making a shrine of his grave. Evidently the Devil desired to use Moses’ body for some such purpose, for Jude, the Christian disciple and half brother of Jesus Christ, writes: “When Michael the archangel had a difference with the Devil and was disputing about Moses’ body, he did not dare to bring a judgment against him in abusive terms, but said: ‘May Jehovah rebuke you.’” (Jude 9) Before crossing over into Canaan under the leadership of Joshua, Israel observed a 30-day mourning period for Moses.—De 34:8.
