We know that
there have been a few Urim and Thummims in existence throughout the world’s
history. Whose Urim and Thummim did Joseph Smith possess?
a.
The Brother
of Jared’s
b.
King Mosiah’s
c.
Abrahams
d.
Moses’
Yesterday’s answer:
b. The breast plate and the Urim and Thummim
At
least three women were also witnesses of the plates themselves or other ancient
objects uncovered at the hill Cumorah: Joseph showed his mother the breastplate
and the Urim and Thummim as mentioned in her original history; Emma Smith, the
prophet’s wife, dusted around the plates in her home and felt the pliable
leaves through a cloth; and Mary Whitmer was shown the plates as a reward for
her willing service in having Joseph Smith, Emma, and Oliver Cowdery stay at
the Whitmer home during the last few weeks of the translation.
