Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 15-30 - The chief ornament of the high priest, was the breastplate, a ric piece of cloth, curiously worked. The name of each tribe was graven in a precious stone, fixed in the breastplate, to signify how precious, i God's sight, believers are, and how honourable. How small and poor soever the tribe was, it was as a precious stone in the breastplate of the high priest; thus are all the saints dear to Christ, however me esteem them. The high priest had the names of the tribes, both on his shoulders and on his breast, which reminds us of the power and the love with which our Lord Jesus pleads for those that are his. He not onl bears them up in his arms with almighty strength, but he carries the in his bosom with tender affection. What comfort is this to us in all our addresses to God! The Urim and Thummim, by which the will of God was made known in doubtful cases, were put in this breastplate. Uri and Thummim signify light and integrity. There are many conjecture what these were; the most probable opinion seems to be, that they wer the twelve precious stones in the high priest's breastplate. Now Christ is our Oracle. By him God, in these last days, makes know himself and his mind to us, Heb 1:1, 2; Joh 1:18. He is the true Light the faithful Witness, the Truth itself, and from him we receive the Spirit of Truth, who leads into all truth.
