EP: 247 The 12 Stones/Urim and Thummim with Dr. Doug Bookman
Blurry Creatures
Exploring the Urim and Thummim in Biblical Narratives
The Urim and Thummim are referenced in Old Testament narratives from the book of Judges through 1 Samuel. One indication of their presence is the combination of the verb 'sha 'ul' meaning to inquire with the name of Yahweh. Another clue is the oracular narrative involving consulting with God and the priest, often mentioning the ephod. The ephod was a garment containing the Urim and Thummim.

The sacred lot, mentioned in Proverbs 16, was perceived differently, indicating a separation from the Urim and Thummim in biblical contexts.
