biblesearcher... This is all I could find on thummim and I have heard different views as to what would occur when the Urim and Thummim were used but I would only conclude that whatever it was exactly I know not. I know it helped the Priest in making deccisions from the Lord. I am sure some of the others here in the forum could probably help you more on this. Text: perfection (LXX., "truth;" Vulg., "veritas"), Ex.28:30; Deut.33:8; Judg.1:1;20:18; 1 Sam.14:3,18; 23:9; 2 Sam.21:1. What the "Urim and Thummim" were cannot be determined with any certainty. All we certainly know is that they were a certain divinely-given means by which God imparted, through the high priest, direction and counsel to Israel when these were needed. The method by which this was done can be only a matter of mere conjecture. They were apparently material objects, quite distinct from the breastplate, but something added to it after all the stones had been set in it, something in addition to the breastplate and its jewels. They may have been, as some suppose, two small images, like the teraphim (comp. Judg. 17:5; 18:14, 17, 20; Hos. 3:4), which were kept in the bag of the breastplate, by which, in some unknown way, the high priest could give forth his divinely imparted decision when consulted. They were probably lost at the destruction of the temple by Nebuchadnezzar. They were never seen after the return from captivity. Easton's Bible Dictionary. God Bless |

Heb. term that means Lights and Perfections. An instrument prepared of God to assist man in obtaining revelation from the Lord and in translating languages. See Ex. 28: 30; Lev. 8: 8; Num. 27: 21; Deut. 33: 8; 1 Sam. 28: 6; Ezra 2: 63; Neh. 7: 65; Using a Urim and Thummim is the special prerogative of a seer, and it would seem reasonable that such instruments were used from the time of Adam. There is more than one Urim and Thummim, but we are informed that Joseph Smith had the one used by the brother of Jared (Ether 3: 22-28; DC 10: 1; DC 17: 1). A partial description is given in JSH 1: 35. Joseph Smith used it in translating the Book of Mormon and in obtaining other revelations.This earth in its celestial condition will be a Urim and Thummim, and many within that kingdom will have an additional Urim and Thummim : Revelation 2:17 "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it." |

Joseph Smith never had a Revelation. Joseph Smith used the Doctrine of Demons to write the book of Mormon. (1 Tim. 4:1; 1 Tim 6:3) |
