"Ethiopian Eunuch" by Jeremy Whitner

It appears Caesarea, where Philip and his prophesying Daughters finally dwelt, is situated within the Western territory of the tribe of Manasseh.

KITTREDGE CHERRY: A queer black man was welcomed as an early Christian convert in Biblical times, according to progressive Bible scholars. The story of how the Ethiopian eunuch was converted and baptized by Philip the Evangelist is told in Acts 8:26-40. Philip could be considered a patron saint of LGBTQ allies.

ELIEZER MELAMED: Bnei Gershon carried the covering of the Tabernacle – its tapestries, the over-tent and roof, and the enclosure’s hangings. The outer covering of the mishkan is also very important. True, the primary interest is what goes on inside the Tabernacle through the use of the vessels, but all of the vessels received their stimulus from their surroundings.

In other words, the Tabernacle’s vessels allude to ohr ha’penimi [the inner-light], and the Tabernacle’s tapestries allude to ohr makif [surrounding light]. In order to understand this concept, it must first be explained that G-d’s light [life-force] with which He illuminates the world, is divided into two: ohr penimi, and ohr makif. The comprehensible portion is the ohr penimi, which we are able to assimilate in our thoughts and feelings, and actually guides our lives.

The portion that is beyond our ability to comprehend acts as an ohr makif, and although we are unable to encompass it, nevertheless, it envelops us and has a decisively influential inspiration on our lives. Indeed, the Tabernacle’s tapestries were especially beautiful, giving expression to matters that are beyond our comprehension, but envelop and surround us, offering us inspiration.

One of the tasks of the Levites was to sing and play music at the time sacrifices were performed. Songs give expression to a longing for something beyond our perception. Kehat deal with the comprehensible, while bnei Gershon express the longing for what is beyond the explicable. Even their name alludes to this: Gershon from the Hebrew word ger [stranger], for man is like a stranger in this world, his soul longing for closeness to G-d and Divinity. These yearnings are expressed in song.

Recompense. "¿Está pagando Me recompensa? Y si Me están recompensando, que rápidamente le devolverá la paga sobre vuestra cabeza. Para Mi plata y Mi oro que Tomó, Mis Tesoros hermoso y han puesto en sus templos" (Yoel 4:4-5).

Frum "Shevatim, 12 Tribes of Israel"

"Har Se'ir [literally, "Mountain of Hair"], forming the contested border between [south-western] Edom [The West/Rome or Global Church] and {south-east} Yesh'a (Y'hudah v'Shomron), is where the remnants "of the Amalekites that had escaped" were slaughtered by five hundred Shim'onim (1 Divrei Hayamim 4:42-43)."

"SHIM'ON שמעון was incised on theפטדה Pitdah, which some commentators translate as an emerald, hence the scintillating green colors in the painting. Other sources of inspiration include

1) the desert banner of Shimon, which showed the city of Sechem ensconced between the mountains and which was the central city of the tribe in Israel.

2) the suggestion of an ear shape or sound wave ripples which hints at the meaning of the Hebrew word Shimon, “diminutive” hearing, the inner hearing of the still voice of the soul.

(Genesis 29:33) G-d has heard that I was unloved" — Dov Lederberg

"Shim'on {a derivation from ha'Ivrit meaning "he who listens [to the words of G-d]" (Bereisheet Rabbah 61:4)} ben Leah is fearless, known as one of the strongest shevatim during the wandering throughout the desert wilderness. Shim'on's voice is so powerful, that he was able to repel B'nei Mitzraim simply by a Primal Scream."

"RE'UVEN ראובן was incised on the (אודם) אדם pronounced Oh-dem, a red stone which most commentators agree is a ruby, and the basis for the painting’s colors. The name oh-dem is related to the word, Adam, or man, and suggests also the dudaim, the human-like mandrakes, which Reuben gave to his mother Leah. The ruby and the mandrakes have been credited with having the power to aid fertility. This implies in the spiritual dimension the ability to make `chidushim’ – new creative discoveries - and is also connected with the first three letters of Reuben’s nameראו , which means seeing, even otherworldly vision.

(Genesis 30:14) Reuben went…and found mandrakes in the field

וילך ראובן...וימצא דודאים בשדה" — Dov Lederberg

"Because of Shim'on's accessory role in selling his brother Yosef as a slave to Mitzraim, "The Prince of Egypt" takes Shim'on hostage to ensure their brethren's return."

"B'nei Shim'on's gemstone is Pitedah, whose banner emblem represents La Puerta de Sh'khem."

Kever Yosef is located in Sh'khem between Har Eval e Har Gerizim toward The East of Erets Yisra'el, capital cuidad de B'nei Efraim e B'nei Menashe aka B'nei Yosef e Diez Shevatim de Yisra'el.
