25. URIM AND THUMMIM:
GASTOR, p. 21, states: "The brethren claimed that they were especially "enlightened" or "endowed with insight". Exactly the same claim-expressed by exactly the same Semitic word-is made by the MANAENS; while among the MANICHAEANS, the lay member of the community (nigosag) was known as "the man with insight". Moreover, the Brethren sometimes described this special illumination by the strange compound word Or-Tomm, literally, "Light Perfection" and this was simply a play on the Biblical Urim and Thummim of the high priest".
