Always on His Heart
Exodus 28:29
"Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he will bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of decision as a continuing memorial before the LORD .
Exodus 28:30
Also put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastpiece, so they may be over Aaron's heart whenever he enters the presence of the LORD . Thus Aaron will always bear the means of making decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the LORD .
More symbolism for the Tabernacle. The twelve tribes of Israel, and the means for making decisions about them, were to be always near the heart of the priest as he came before God. Jesus, the eternal Priest, continues to go before God for us. We are near His heart, as well. Every name is on his hand and his heart, and all of his decisions for us are made in love and complete knowledge of the past, present, and future.
