The Ephod - Numbers 28:8-10

The Breastplate of Judgment - Numbers 28:29

[Rick-Parker]

The Epod if Aaron: Had 12 stones on it. "Each of the stones carried the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The high priest wore the breastplate on the ephod. When the people of Israel inquired of God concerning an important issue, the high priest asked God the question. God answered through the twelve stones. For example, when they wanted to know whether they should go out to war, the high priest asked God and God answered through the breastplate in this way: the relevant letters of the name of the tribe shone and together they formed God's answer. It was in this special way that God spoke to Israel." Source

The breastplate of judgment: There were 2 purposes for the breastplate of judgment; "And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the LORD continually."

(Ex. 28:29) The first purpose was to show the constant concern for the Israelites that the high priest was to have as he ministered before the Lord.

"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." (Ex. 28:30)

The high priest was also to be prepared to hear from God because the Lord would tell him about things concerning Israel whether they were good or bad.

In the same way the high priest wore the breastplate on his heart when he entered the temple, so Christ constantly has the church (including individual believers) on his heart as he prays for us to the Father (Heb. 7:25; 1 Jn.2:1). As he goes to the Father on our behalf, Christ hears from the Father the decisions he makes concerning us and our situations, then does his part to carry out what the Father tells him."

Really interesting topic title, and I am in suspense waiting to spiritually ingest some more relevant teaching on the subject. I read what B.P cut and pasted, but do not necessarily agree with the functional description attributed to the Urim and Thummim...but I am intrigued and hungry to hear (further) incisive comment/explanation/insight/opinion.
