Urim

Urim is a biblical Hebrew term, often appearing alongside 'Thummim'. These were elements of the breastplate worn by the High Priest of ancient Israel, used for divination or to discern God's will. The exact nature and function of the Urim and Thummim are not fully understood, but they are consistently associated with divine revelation and judgment.

The name 'Urim' itself is derived from the Hebrew word 'ur' (אוּר), meaning 'light' or 'flame'. While not a common personal name in ancient Israel, its strong biblical association has led to its occasional use as a given name, particularly within Jewish and Christian communities who value biblical names. Its rarity contributes to its unique and distinctive character.
