The ultimate fate of the Urim and Thummim is unknown. In Nehemiah's time, expectation continued that someday a priest would arise with Urim and Thummim (Ezra 2:63; Nehemiah 7:65 ). This probably refers to the ability to receive an answer from the Lord, however, rather than a return of the lots given to Aaron. See Oracles; Lots; High Priest .
