The Urim and Thummim represent divine judgment and direction, found in the garments of the high priest, symbolizing Christ's role in bearing our judgment.
In Exodus 28:30, the Urim and Thummim are described as being placed on the high priest's breastplate, indicating their significance in representing God’s judgment and guidance for the people of Israel. The term Urim means 'lights', signifying illumination or divine insight, while Thummim means 'perfections', denoting completeness or integrity. These elements symbolize the perfect and divine attributes of Christ, our High Priest, who bears the judgment on our behalf and provides us direction in life. Thus, Christ fulfills the role of Urim and Thummim by being the light and perfection of His people.
