Urim and Thummim
etymology_text:
From Biblical Hebrew אוּרִים (ʾûrîm) and תומים / תֻּמִּים (tummîm). Traditionally the Hebrew has been understood, and sometimes translated, as “Light and Truth” owing to the similarity to אוֹרִים (ʾôrîm, “lights”) and תָּמִים (tāmîm, “complete, morally upright, in accordance with truth”), an interpretation that has contributed to the terms’ association with clairvoyance. There is no consensus on the validity of this reading in the original biblical context, particularly for Thummim.
senses_examples:
text:
If the description of the ephod and of the ‘breast-plate’ of the high priest in Ex 28: 6-30 comes (basically) from the last years of the monarchy, it was no longer an instrument for giving oracles; it is significant that the Urim and Thummim are mentioned there, but not described in minute detail, as all the other ornaments of the high priest are; they are probably mentioned to give an archaic touch, and the writer himself probably did not know exactly what they were.[…]
Esd 2:63=Ne 7:65 says that after the Exile there was no priest to handle the Urim and Thummim; this is confirmed by the Jewish tradition which often repeats that there was neither Urim nor Thummim in the second Temple. One text of the Talmud (Sota 48a) even asserts that there had been no Urim and Thummim since the death of the ‘first prophets’, i.e. Samuel, David and Solomon.

With the aid of ‘George’, the disembodied spirit of an executed felon, Wharton and Wildman looked for treasure at Somerset House, exorcised four devils (Wildman heard one of them ‘hiss’), and embarked on a quest for the Urim and Thummim from the breastplate of the high priest of the Temple (Wildman calculated that the jewels alone would be worth £25,000).

I decided to return to the ancients. The Bible says the high priest of the ancient Hebrews relied on oracular doodads called the Urim and Thummim. Nobody these days knows precisely what they were or how they were used, and there are only a handful of mentions in the Bible. The problem is that the Urim and Thummim have disappeared.
That is, unless somebody isn’t telling.[…]
This brought me back to Mr. Buffett. While his record isn’t perfect, his investing prowess is legendary. Could he be getting some help from the ancient oracular doodads?
I called Omaha. A woman with a friendly and professional voice answered the phone at Mr. Buffett’s office. I explained that I was a reporter from The New York Times, and that I was searching for the Urim and Thummim.
“I don’t even know what you’re referencing,” she said.
No problem. Nobody knows what the Urim and Thummim were, I explained. This didn’t seem to help, and her tone went from confused to cool.
I asked her name. “I don’t think I’m going to tell you,” she said.
Could she at least let me know if Mr. Buffett might have left the Urim and Thummim just, you know, lying around?
“I’m going to have to let you go, sir. Thank you.” And with that you might find this hard to believe she hung up on me.

economy (disambiguation)
etymology_text:
From Middle English yconomye, yconomy, borrowed via Old French [Term?] or Medieval Latin from Latin oeconomia, from Ancient Greek οἰκονομία (oikonomía, “management of a household, administration”), from οἶκος (oîkos, “house”) + νέμω (némō, “distribute, allocate”). By surface analysis, eco- + -nomy. The first recorded sense of the word economy, found in a work possibly composed in 1440, is “the management of economic affairs”, in this case, of a monastery.

I have no other notion of economy than that it is the parent to liberty and ease.
text:
An economy open to free movement of capital can keep a fixed exchange rate, for example, only by subjugating monetary-policy goals to its defence—by raising interest rates sharply, say, when capital outflows put downward pressure on the currency. Yet the trilemma also implies that an economy can enjoy both free capital flows and an independent monetary policy, so long as it gives up worrying about its exchange rate.

etymology_text:
From Middle English yconomye, yconomy, borrowed via Old French [Term?] or Medieval Latin from Latin oeconomia, from Ancient Greek οἰκονομία (oikonomía, “management of a household, administration”), from οἶκος (oîkos, “house”) + νέμω (némō, “distribute, allocate”). By surface analysis, eco- + -nomy. The first recorded sense of the word economy, found in a work possibly composed in 1440, is “the management of economic affairs”, in this case, of a monastery.
