Usage

The term "Tummim" is often paired with "Urim" (אוּרִים) and refers to a set of objects used by the high priest in ancient Israel to discern the will of God. The Urim and Tummim were kept in the breastplate of judgment worn by the high priest and were used for divination or decision-making, particularly in matters of national importance or when seeking divine guidance.
