Urim and Thummim: What Are They?

The urim and thummim were incorporated into the garments of the Israelite High Priest. Little is said about these stones, and yet they play an important role at critical junctions of Israel's history. In this video, we will talk about the urim and thummim and do a little bit of experimental archaeology.
