the Urim and the Thummim
Exd 28:30 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.
Can anyone shed some light on the Urim and the Thummim? I have only heard one preacher (William Branham) explain what this was, but, he said "an angel" revealed this to him. Not doubting the brother...but... well, I don't put alot of stock in things revealed by "angels"...

It is my understanding that there were two identically shaped and sized stones, one white and the other black, which the high priest kept in his breastplate. When he needed an answer from YHWH he would reach in and pull out one stone. If the stone was white, the answer was "yes" and if the stone was black, the answer was "no."
I can't remember when or from whom I heard this teaching. It was a long time ago.

That doesn't seem right, although the words do sound like a mineral of some kind.

Thats kinda sorta waht Brother Branham taught. He said "the angel" revealed to him that these stones would "light" up to indicate whether a prophecy was true or not. Or something to that effect.
