Ex. 28: 30
.
30 ¶ And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the
a
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.
Mosiah 8: 13 (13-19)
13 Now Ammon said unto him: I can assuredly tell thee, O king, of a man that can
a
translate
the records; for he has wherewith that he can look, and translate all records that are of ancient date; and it is a gift from God. And the things are called
b
interpreters
, and no man can look in them except he be commanded, lest he should look for that he ought not and he should perish. And whosoever is commanded to look in them, the same is called
c
seer
.
Mosiah 28: 13 (13-16)
13 And now he translated them by the means of those two
a
stones
which were fastened into the two rims of a bow.
JS-H 1: 35
.
35 Also, that there were two stones in silver bows—and these stones, fastened to a
a
breastplate
, constituted what is called the
b
Urim
and Thummim—deposited with the plates; and the possession and use of these stones were what constituted “
c
seers
” in ancient or former times; and that God had prepared them for the purpose of translating the book.
