13  Now Ammon said unto him: I can assuredly tell thee, O king, of a man that can translate the records; for he has wherewith that he can look, and translate all records that are of ancient date; and it is a gift from God. And the things are called ^binterpreters, and no man can look in them except he be commanded, lest he should look for that he ought not and he should perish. And whosoever is commanded to look in them, the same is called seer.

  13  And now he translated them by the means of those two ^astones which were fastened into the two rims of a bow.

  1  And I, Abraham, had the ^aUrim and Thummim, which the Lord my God had given unto me, in Ur of the Chaldees;

  35  Also, that there were two stones in silver bows—and these stones, fastened to a breastplate, constituted what is called the ^bUrim and Thummim—deposited with the plates; and the possession and use of these stones were what constituted "seers" in ancient or former times; and that God had prepared them for the purpose of translating the book.
