thanks for your comments.

certain things change if Benjamin gets moved from stone 10 slot to stone 12 slot - other things don't, like ...

All bottom row stones total 888, Jesus.

All these stones are blood kin to Joseph.

All these stones associated with the West  compass point, as these three tribes camped on the west of the Tabernacle.

All stones, because of the previous statement are therefore closest to the Holy of Holies, God's square room in the Tabernacle was on the west end.

Benjamin associated with Silver. first mention of Silver in Bible has an in-text value of 162. Joseph takes his Silver Cup, the cup of divination and places it in the Benjamin's sack. This may imply that the knowledge of the future is tied to Benjamin - prophetic future events.

Benjamin associated with the five times portion, as Joseph blesses him.

Benjamin "dwells in safety between the Shoulders." Joseph orchestrated events for Benjamin.

Joseph is Benjamin's elder brother as the Lord Jesus is the believer's elder brother.

Benjamin is the Bride.

good post and observations.

Jesus is Lord.
