When direction from the Lord is needed, Joshua will stand before Eleazar the priest, who will use the Urim— one of the sacred lots cast before the Lord— to determine his will. This is how Joshua and the rest of the community of Israel will determine everything they should do.”

He is to stand before Eleazar the priest, who will obtain decisions for him by inquiring of the Urim before the Lord. At his command he and the entire community of the Israelites will go out, and at his command they will come in.”

Joshua will stand in front of Eleazar the priest. Eleazar will help him make decisions. Eleazar will get help from me by using the Urim. Joshua and the whole community of Israel must not make any move at all unless I command them to.”

And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before the Lord. At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all the people of Israel with him, the whole congregation.”

He will stand before the priest Eleazar who will consult the LORD for him with the decision of the Urim. He and all the Israelites with him, even the entire community, will go out and come back in at his command.”

Insert the Urim and Thummim into the sacred chestpiece so they will be carried over Aaron’s heart when he goes into the Lord’s presence. In this way, Aaron will always carry over his heart the objects used to determine the Lord’s will for his people whenever he goes in before the Lord.

He asked the Lord what he should do, but the Lord refused to answer him, either by dreams or by sacred lots or by the prophets.

So the Israelites examined their food, but they did not consult the Lord.

The governor told them not to eat the priests’ share of food from the sacrifices until a priest could consult the Lord about the matter by using the Urim and Thummim— the sacred lots.

Ahimelech consulted the Lord for him. Then he gave him food and the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”King Saul immediately sent for Ahimelech and all his family, who served as priests at Nob.When they arrived, Saul shouted at him,“ Listen to me, you son of Ahitub!”“ What is it, my king?” Ahimelech asked.“ Why have you and the son of Jesse conspired against me?” Saul demanded.“ Why did you give him food and a sword? Why have you consulted God for him? Why have you encouraged him to kill me, as he is trying to do this very day?”“ But sir,” Ahimelech replied,“ is anyone among all your servants as faithful as David, your son in law? Why, he is the captain of your bodyguard and a highly honored member of your household!This was certainly not the first time I had consulted God for him! May the king not accuse me and my family in this matter, for I knew nothing at all of any plot against you.”

For they had gone up to Bethel and wept in the presence of the Lord until evening. They had asked the Lord,“ Should we fight against our relatives from Benjamin again?” And the Lord had said,“ Go out and fight against them.”

Give them someone who will guide them wherever they go and will lead them into battle, so the community of the Lord will not be like sheep without a shepherd.”

Then he said to Abiathar the priest,“ Bring me the ephod!” So Abiathar brought it.

Moses said this about the tribe of Levi:“ O Lord, you have given your Thummim and Urim— the sacred lots— to your faithful servants the Levites. You put them to the test at Massah and struggled with them at the waters of Meribah.

But David learned of Saul’s plan and told Abiathar the priest to bring the ephod and ask the Lord what he should do.

Before the battle the Israelites went to Bethel and asked God,“ Which tribe should go first to attack the people of Benjamin?” The Lord answered,“ Judah is to go first.”

After the death of Joshua, the Israelites asked the Lord,“ Which tribe should go first to attack the Canaanites?”

The governor told them not to eat the priests’ share of food from the sacrifices until a priest could consult the Lord about the matter by using the Urim and Thummim— the sacred lots.

Then all the Israelites went up to Bethel and wept in the presence of the Lord and fasted until evening. They also brought burnt offerings and peace offerings to the Lord.The Israelites went up seeking direction from the Lord.( In those days the Ark of the Covenant of God was in Bethel,and Phinehas son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron was the priest.) The Israelites asked the Lord,“ Should we fight against our relatives from Benjamin again, or should we stop?” The Lord said,“ Go! Tomorrow I will hand them over to you.”

Then Moses placed the chestpiece on Aaron and put the Urim and the Thummim inside it.
