Most gem scholars agree that the tradition of birthstones arose from the Breastplate of Aaron, a ceremonial religious garment that was set with 12 gemstones to represent the 12 tribes of Israel. According to the Bible, God promised Abraham a separate homeland for Israelites, called the land of Canaan. The promise was delivered during the time of Moses, who led the 12 tribes of Israel from Egypt towards the promised land of Canaan. When their kingdom was established, the Israelites were given a high priest to guide them spiritually. The high priest had a breastplate with twelve jewels that were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.
