VIII° - Intendant of the Building


The Regalia of the VIII° contains a Triangle at the top of the Apron, with the hebrew letters Beth, Aleph and Shin. These are traditionally considered to mean “Ben - (C)Hurim”, (on the Jewel), “Achad”, (also on the Jewel), and “Shenikah”.

Shenikah is not a word in the bible, but instead comes from the Talmud. It is typically translated as  "dwelling" or "settling", especially in the context of God dwelling or settling within oneself. 

Below this triangle is the scales of Justice, and a nine-pointed star.
