Best Answer

The 12 stones represent the 12 tribes of Israel: Asher, Benjamin, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Reuben, Simeon, Gad, Ephraim, Manesseh, Dan, Naphtali.

These tribes were named after the 12 sons of Jacob, with the exceptions that Levi led the Priests, and Joseph does not have a tribe but his sons Manesseh and Ephraim do.
