Read: Exodus 28:29-43
God supplied the needs of the priests as they served the people. Urim and Thummim is something to do with determining the will of God. God has kept its details obscure for a very good reason - some people would try to produce a Urim and Thummim today and would claim that it would give us all the answers. God wants us to go to Him for the answers.
Verse 33 and 34 tell us about the fruit and the bells, which speaks of witness. We should have both of these in our lives. We ought to be a witness for Christ, and there ought to be fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives. You should not be handing out tracts, friends, unless you are making the right kind of 'tracks' in this world. Too many people want to witness but do not have a life to back it up.
Josephus, the Jewish historian tells us in his Antiquities 3:7 that the high-priest out on his clothes in this order: under-garment, tunic, sash, turban (with gold-plate), blue robe, and the ephod (with the breastplate). These garments distinguished the high priest from the other priests, and they set forth the glories and beauties of our High Priest who is 'holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate from sinners.' These garments fully covered Aaron and we should be decently clothed during our worship of the Lord.
Respond: He lives at God's right hand to intercede for us.
