Ephod

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of World Religions | 1997 | | Copyright

Ephod (Heb.). A Jewish sacred garment. It was evidently part of the vestments of the high priest. The ephod and Urim and Thummim were used as a means of seeking God's will. Consultation of the ephod, however, had certainly died out by the time of the second Temple.
