The second row: nophech
(28:18)
The fourth of the stones set into the face of the Choshen–Yehuda’s stone–was a nophech stone. What significance is there in the <nophech, as the stone that represents Yehuda? The ??? of Yehuda was chosen by Hash-m to be the source of the nation’s leadership. This ??? was suited for leadership roles because its leaders could humble themselves before the will Hash-m. At the Yam Suf, when no one was willing to venture into the water, it was Nachshon, the prince of Yehuda, who strode confidently into the sea, with total reliance on his faith in Hash-m. The letters of ???, also from the word ??? to humble oneself, for that was the true greatness of Yehuda. (R’ David Feinstein-Sefer Kol Dodi)
