Premye syèk la jwif istoryen Jozèf kwè te gen yon koneksyon ant douz wòch yo nan plak pwatrin Arawon an. Siyifikasyon tribi pèp Izrayèl la, jan sa dekri nan Liv Egzòd la. Douz mwa yo nan ane a, epi tou siy douz zodiac la. Tradiksyon ak entèpretasyon pasaj la nan Egzòd konsènan plastwon an te varye anpil. Jozèf li menm bay de diferan lis pou douz wòch yo. George Kunz diskite ke Jozèf te wè plastwon an nan dezyèm tanp lan, pa youn ki dekri nan Egzòd. St Jerome, referans Josephus, te di ke wòch fondasyon yo nan New Jerizalèm lan ta apwopriye pou kretyen yo itilize.

The first century Jewish historian Josephus believed there was a connection between the twelve stones in Aaron’s breastplate. Signifying the tribes of Israel, as described in the Book of Exodus. The twelve months of the year, and also the twelve signs of the zodiac. Translations and interpretations of the passage in Exodus regarding the breastplate have varied widely. Josephus himself gives two different lists for the twelve stones. George Kunz argues that Josephus saw the breastplate of the Second Temple, not the one described in Exodus. St. Jerome, referencing Josephus, said the Foundation Stones of the New Jerusalem would be appropriate for Christians to use.
