	Urim and Thummim - Crystalinks
		Urim and Thummim, generally translated as "lights and perfections" or "revelation and truth" were a scrying medium or divination process used by ancient Hebrews (usually Israelites) in revealing the will of God on a contested point of view or other problem.
		According to the Hebrew Bible, stones used for "an" Urim and Thummim were kept in the breastplate of Aaron, the brother of Moses.
		The last agreed-upon reference to Urim and Thummim in the Bible is in Ezra and Nehemiah when, as the Temple and its worship practices are being restored, those who cannot prove their lineage as priests are commanded to wait for a priest with Urim and Thummim to identify them.

	The Temple Institute: Articles: The "Urim V'Tummim"
		The Urim V'Tummim was the famed, oracle-like aspect of the breastplate by which a Heavenly answer was received for important questions.
		According to most authoritative opinions, the expression Urim V'Tummim actually refers not to the breastplate itself, but to the mystical Divine name of G-d which was written on a piece of parchment and inserted into a flap of the garment.
		The urim v'tummim is unlike any other aspect of the priestly garments, for it was not created by those skilled artisans who fashioned the other items, aided by their understanding and inspiration; and it was not created from the donations or contributions of Israel, as were all the other appointments of the Temple.

	Urim And Thummim - LoveToKnow 1911
		Here it is stated that they are kept in a square pouch which is worn upon the high priest's breast ("the breastplate of judgment"), and attached to the ephod.
		Thus the association of the Urim and Thummim with the ephod, which appears in the oldest narratives, is retained in the Priestly Code (P).
		For modern discussions, see the articles "Urim and Thummim" in the Bible dictionaries; the relevant sections in the treatises on archaeology; and W. Muss-Arnolt, The Urim and Thummim (reprinted from the American Journal of Semitic Languages, July 1900).

	The Urim and Thummim: A New Theory
		By the Urim, therefore, or splendours, I doubt not that the light of doctrine, wherewith the true Priest illuminates all believers, was represented...On the other hand, the Thummim, which signifies perfections, was a symbol of the prefect and entire purity which is only to be sought in Christ.
		Although, as we shall later see, that the symbolic significance of the Urim and Thummim are fundamental to the argument I wish to present, the fact remains that the biblical evidence is more in favour of understanding the Urim and Thummim as having a physical identity, not a purely symbolic one.
		Seeing the Urim as "lights", "revelation", and "manifestation" gains a sense of the fact that the Urim were a means of enlightenment, for they revealed hidden truths, and made manifest things which the Israelite seekers sought from the High Priests prophetic capacity.

	Urim and Thummim
		The Rabbis understood the Urim and Thummim to be part of the Breastplate of the High Priest and that its oracular function came from light shining through the twelve gemstones mounted on the breastplate.
		The answers given by the Urim and Thummim recorded in the Bible were full sentences, suggesting either that the device was merely an aid to oracular prophecy, or that the Rabbis were correct in their claim that it spelled out messages from the letters on the breastplate.
		Mention of the Urim and Thummim ceases early in the history of Israel, indicating that it was no longer in use at the rise of classical prophecy (8th Century BCE).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Urim and Thummim
		Urim is derived from the Hebrew for "light", or "to give light", and Thummim from "completeness", "perfection", or "innocence".
		Urim served to bring to light the guilt of the accused person, and Thummim to establish his innocence.

		The terms "Urim" and "Thummim" have traditionally been understood as "light(s)" and "perfection(s)" or as "perfect light." The Urim and Thummim were a means of revelation entrusted to the high priest.
		Sometimes the mention of the ephod (on which the breastpiece housing the Urim and Thummim were fastened) includes a reference to the Urim and Thummim (1 Sam 23:9-12; 30:7-8).
		Since the Urim and Thummim, in whatever way they functioned, were a physical means of revelation, it appears that God was taking his people away from the easy certainty inherent in a mechanical means of revelation to the more consistent use of prophecy and the Word alone.

	Seer Stones - MormonWiki
		Seer stones, also called Urim and Thummim, in Mormonism are instruments prepared by God to assist man in obtaining revelation and in translating languages.
		In the Hebrew language the words [Urim and Thumim] mean ‘lights and perfections.’ The Urim and Thummim consist of two stones set in silver bows and sometimes used with a breastplate (see Doctrine and Covenants 17: 1; Joseph Smith-History 1: 35, 42, 52).
		The Urim and Thummim and a breastplate are mentioned occasionally in the Old Testament, but it is evident that they were lost or taken from the Jews before the time of Christ.

	Urim and Thummin
		After the return from Babylonian captivity, some priests who had a questionable genealogy had to wait for a priest with Urim and Thummin in order to determine their ancestry (Ezra 2:63; Nehemiah 7:65).
		Other examples of revelation that probably came by way of Urim and Thummin are the idetifying of Achan (Joshua 7:16-20) and the refusal of God to answer Saul (1Samuel 14:36-37; 28:6).
		The main distinctions I see is that the Urim and Thummin was established by God to be used only by the priest and that its counsel had the same authority as other forms of revelation--it was always absolutely true.

		Urim and Thummim is the transliteration of two Hebrew words meaning, respectively, "light(s)" and "wholeness(es)" or "perfection(s)." While it is usually assumed that the -im ending on both words represents the Hebrew masculine plural suffix, other explanations are possible.
