What Was The Urim And The Thummim?
Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin ArticlesA querist asks, “In your study of the Bible, can you please explain (in simple terms) the operation and purpose of the Urim and the Thummim that the high priest (Aaron) was required to wear when he entered into the holy place (Exodus 28:29-30).
I’m especially interested in finding out what the latter portion of Exodus 28:30-KJV means which states:
“and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually.“
1) In what manner did Aaron “bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually?”
2) Is there a “type” of the Urim and the Thummim in the New Testament?
Brother Kevin Cauley, preacher for the Berryville congregation answers the above questions:

The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia provides us with some additional information regarding this question.
