Urim and Thummim

What is the purpose of Urim and Thummim?

Urim and Thummim are stones that were said to be a means of revelation entrusted to the high priest. Most scholars suspect that the stones were used to answer a question or reveal the will of God.

They first appear in the Bible in Exodus 28:30, where they are named for inclusion on the breastplate to be worn by Aaron in the holy place. Other books, especially 1 Samuel, describe their use in divination.

If you have a question, turn to Urim and Thummim for guidance. Simply tap the screen to reveal an answer to your most troubling queries. As described in the heralded novel “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho, an old king gave these mystic stones to a young shepherd and instructed him that when an objective question is asked, God will reply using the black stone for "yes" and the white stone for "no". Try them for yourself!
