This flag was created from recognized lore about the Tribe of Levi.
Jacob who became Israel had twelve sons and Levi was son number 3 and that number is in the Jewish star in the right bottom corner. Levi’s name is written in English at the top and in Hebrew on the bottom.
The center of the flag contains the heraldic image of an ephod for Levi because they are the priestly tribe that were instructed to wear all the tribes when they went into worship God. The prophesy of Jacob in Genesis 49:5-7 “ Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations. my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall. Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.”
This prophesy came to pass when they entered the promised land they did not inherit land of their own but at God’s command were dispersed in cities throughout the nation.
Moses spoke a blessing over Levi in Deuteronomy 33:8,10- And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one;They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.
The image is encapsulated in the Hebrew letter “YUD or YOD”. In Jewish mystical tradition, Yud represents a divine point of energy. Since Yud is used to form all the other letters and since God uses the letters as the building blocks of creation, Yud indicates Gods omnipresence. Yud is considered the starting point of the presence of God in all things and the “spark” of the Spirit in everything.
The background of the flag is in the color of the yellow gold agate stone that is associated with Levi and thought to represent
