Why could G_d not have simply written ALL the law on the two sides of the two tablets, as the Word says? He did not have to write as large as we see the so called 10 Words painted on the walls in Churches etc. He only had to write in a size (and language) that made the two pieces reasonably portable, whilst have the whole law written on them. Why do we need to have see-through writing - we are limiting G_d to our own thoughts and possibilities, are we not, and restricting the whole law to the 10 words - that is not Biblical (and makes a good lesson in eisegesis, at the same time). Surely G_d can write on anything, whether sapphire, silver, gold etc etc etc.,? In any case, it was Moshe who wrote the final set of tablets with the whole law on them, not G_d - so did Moshe write with see-through writing in sapphire as well? I think not! The final Book of [all] the Law was certainly not carved in precious stone!

September’s birthstone, the sapphire, was said to represent the purity of the soul.

The 2nd foundation stone of the Temple in Revelation is made of sapphire

can I have a link?

Do you not have a concordance, or Google? :) :)

Revelation 21:14-21 Technically it is the City as there will be no Temple at that time. The 12 foundation stones represent the 12 apostles of the Lamb, which makes sapphire to be Andrew (according to main Christian denominations who list him as 2nd, not 1st).

Exekiel 28:13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: carnelian, chrysolite and emerald, topaz, onyx and jasper, lapis lazuli, turquoise and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared.

I have often wondered what Ezekiel is saying about the King of Tyre, like, was the King of Tyre and inherited position since birth and all this wealth was revealed in the jewelry prepared at his conception?

Isaiah 54:11 where speaking of the believers as a temple “O you afflicted one, tossed with tempest and not comforted, behold I will lay your stones with colorful gems, and lay your foundations with sapphires.”

Now I ask you, if you understand the foundations of any nations is found within the laws which it lives by, then the foundation of God's Kingdom is also His Laws, so it make sense that the TEN are written on Sapphire tablets.

The Sapphire represents the Lord's Divine Nature and His Holy Character as seen in Exodus 24:10, Ezekiel 1:26, 10:1 and Revelation 21:19.

I think it is no coincidence that Sapphire is mentioned 12 times in the bible.

1. Exodus 24:10: "And they saw the God of Israel, and there was under His feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and it was like the very heavens in its clarity." (Moses and the 70 elders)

2. Exodus 28:18: "The second row shall be a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond." (On the ephod of Aaron, the High Priest)

3. Exodus 39:11: "The second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond." (Same as above)

4. Job 28:5-7: "As for the earth, from it comes bread, but underneath it is turned up as by fire; its stones are the source of sapphires, and it contains gold dust."

5. Job 28:12-16: "But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? Man does not know its value, nor is it found in the land of the living. 'The deep says it is not in me'; and the sea says, 'it is not with me.' It cannot be purchased for gold, nor can silver be weighed for its price. It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, in precious onyx or sapphire."

6. Song Of Solomon 5:14: "His hands are rods of gold set with beryl. His body is carved with ivory inlaid with sapphires."

7. Isaiah 54:11: "O you afflicted one, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold I will lay your stones with colorful gems, and lay our foundations with sapphires."

8. Lamentations 4:7: "Her Nazarites were brighter than snow and whiter than milk; they were more ruddy in body than rubies, like sapphire in their appearance." [Isn't that the same thing as saying "the saints' like in revelation?]

9. Ezekiel 1:26: "And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it."

10. Ezekiel 10:1: "And I looked, and there in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared something like a sapphire stone, having the appearance of the likeness of a throne."

11. Ezekiel 28:13: "You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering; the sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you were created."

12. Revelation 21:19: "And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald."

God, through David, talked about stones rubbing against each other to polish them, smooth out their rough edges. The sapphire is second only to the diamond in hardness. For this reason the stone is often used as an abrasive or polishing agent.

Proverbs 27:17 “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”

Nazarites which is said to be whiter than snow and whiter than milk, signifies truth in ultimates. A worthy goal for all believers.

Lamentations 4:7: "Her Nazarites were brighter than snow and whiter than milk; they were more ruddy in body than rubies, like sapphire in their appearance."

Making the connections between the Nazarites and Sapphire has to be in the purity both transparent and illuminating in their physical and spiritual meanings.
