Hoshen/Choshen is a Hebrew word usually translated as breastplate; in English

worn by the Jewish high priest, according to the Book of Exodus. In the biblical
account, the breastplate is termed the breastplate of judgement, because the
Urim and Thummim, which were used in divination, were placed within it. The

another, and each of them representative of a specific tribe
