Contextual Overview

1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 "Take Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Tent of my presence and bring the priestly garments, the anointing oil, the young bull for the sin offering, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread. 3 Then call the whole community together there." 4 Moses did as the Lord had commanded, and when the community had assembled, 5 he said to them, "What I am now about to do is what the Lord has commanded." 6 Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward and had them take a ritual bath. 7 He put the shirt and the robe on Aaron and the sash around his waist. He put the ephod on him and fastened it by putting its finely woven belt around his waist. 8 He put the breastpiece on him and put the Urim and Thummim in it. 9 He placed the turban on his head, and on the front of it he put the gold ornament, the sacred sign of dedication, just as the Lord had commanded him. 10 Then Moses took the anointing oil and put it on the Tent of the Lord 's presence and everything that was in it, and in this way he dedicated it all to the Lord .

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he put the breastplate upon him,.... Which was made of the same materials with the ephod, and was put upon it, and fastened to it:

also he put in the breastplate the Urim and Thummim: that is, Moses did it, as all the rest; for there is no reason to be given why this should be appropriated to God as a divine work, distinct from the rest; and these seem to be the twelve precious stones set in the breastplate, whose names are given, Exodus 27:17 and if they are not intended, no account is here given of them; but since in Exodus 29:8 an account is given of the stones, and of the setting of them in the breastplate, and no mention is made of the Urim and Thummim, and here notice is taken of them, but nothing said of the stones; it seems pretty plain they must be the same; Exodus 29:8- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Exodus 28:0.

Leviticus 8:9

The holy crown - The golden plate of the mitre was so called as the distinctive badge of the high priest’s consecration. See Leviticus 21:12.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Leviticus 8:8. He put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim. — The Urim and Thummim are here supposed to be something different from the breastplate itself. Exodus 28:15; Exodus 28:15; "Exodus 28:16"; "Exodus 28:30".
