     * the Urim and Thummim.
       [^Mymth taw Myrwa ta^] the Urim and Thummim, lights and
       perfections; rendered by the LXX. [[FNgreek]dhlwsiv kai alhyeia[Fn],]
       manifestation and truth; and, by the Vulgate, {doctrina et
       veritas,} doctrine and truth.  Among the various and
       contradictory opinions respecting the form and substance of
       these mysterious appendages, the most probable seems to be
       that of Josephus, Philo, Bp. Patrick, Parkhurst, and the
       Jewish writers generally; who state, that they were no other
       than the twelve precious stones of the high priest's
       breastplate.  In support of this statement, it is observed, 1.
       That in the description of the high priest's breastplate,
       Exod. 39:8, et seq., the Urim and Thummim are not mentioned,
       but only the rows of stones; and on the contrary, in Lev.
       8:8, the Urim and Thummim are expressly mentioned, but not a
       word is said of the four rows of stones.  2.  As Moses has
       given such a particular description of every thing relative to
       the high priest's dress, these would certainly have been
       described had they been different from what was previously
       mentioned.
