The Breastplate is a square covering worn over the chest of the high priest. It consists of four different colors of fine twined linen, and the colors are gold, blue, purple, and scarlet. It has four rows of stones, and each stone represents one of the 12 tribes of Israel. The high priest carries the Urim and Thummim inside the breastplate. The breastplate signifies the coving or protection of the chest or heart.
The Mitre is a headdress worn by the high priest. It had engraved on it, "Holiness to the Lord."The mitre signifies that individuals are under the authority of the Lord.
The Urim and Thummim are stones carried by the high priest in the breastplate. The inner workings of these stones are not understood, but many believe they reflect light in such a way as to give the counsel of the Lord. The significance of the Urim and Thummim is to show that the Lord answers our prayers.
