0 What The Bible says about Urim and Thummim

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16

Urim-and-Thummim

The Urim and Thummim were two magic stones that were used to give a yes or no answer to any question.

(They were also what Joseph Smith used to translate the Book of Mormon.)

Here are the Bible verses that mention the Urim and Thuumim:

And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth in before the LORD: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually. Exodus 28:30

And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim. Leviticus 8:8

And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation. Numbers 27:21

And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah; Deuteronomy 33:8

And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams nor by Urim, nor by prophets. 1 Samuel 28:6
