Who are we? This parsha lists the 12 tribes and each of the flags and the Zohar comments that our essence is the combination of the aspects represented by the four faces – the lion for strength, endurance and caring reflecting the facet of the Sephirot Chesed colored blue; the ox for discipline, judgement called Gevura and colored red; and the eagle for transcendence and harmony and compassion called Tiferet colored yellow; and Malchut, translated as kingship, the human face, here for responsibility, authenticity, unity in combination of colors.
