📱The ancient Tablet/breastplate:
Regarding the Mouthpiece of God, referred to as the Urim and Thummim, ur and tumm has been connected with the Babylonian terms ūrtu and tamītu, meaning "oracle" and "command", respectively.
‘The Urim and Thummim were possibly sometimes used through cleromancy, and the participants of ‘Lights and Perfection’ waited for an answer to a question, revealing the will of God.’
🌟 ‘The Talmudic rabbis argued that Urim and Thummim were words written on the sacred breastplate. Most of the Talmudic rabbis, and Josephus, following the belief that Urim meant "lights", argued that the rituals involving Urim and Thummim involved questions…. “being answered by great rays of light shining out of certain jewels on the breastplate; each jewel was taken to represent different letters, and the sequence of lighting thus would spell out an answer”(though there were 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet, and only 12 jewels on the breastplate);two Talmudic rabbis, however, argued that “the jewels themselves moved in a way that made them stand out from the rest, or even moved themselves into groups to form words” .’*** !!📱
‘Maimonides states that in the Second Temple the Urim and Thummim actually existed but no longer functioned in the practical sense since the priests no longer possessed the Holy Spirit. (Battery would no longer charge) Rabbi Abraham ben David disagrees and maintains that during that era, the Urim and Thummim were completely absent.’
Sumerian deities such as Enki also used a Tablet, until it was stolen, and eventually regained by Enlil.
Tiamat bestows the Tablet of Destinies on Qingu when she takes him as her consort and gives him command of her army. The tablet is seized by the god Marduk after his defeat of Qingu.

I gotta repeat this part - “being answered by great rays of light shining out of certain jewels on the breastplate; each jewel was taken to represent different letters, and the sequence of lighting thus would spell out an answer”
“the jewels themselves moved in a way that made them stand out from the rest, or even moved themselves into groups to form words”
