⁹ But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: `we will go up' against it by lot;

² by the lot of their inheritance, as Jehovah commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.

⁴¹ Therefore Saul said unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, Show the right. And Jonathan and Saul were taken `by lot'; but the people escaped.

⁴² And Saul said, Cast `lots' between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.

⁵ Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.

¹ And the princes of the people dwelt in Jerusalem: the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts in the `other' cities.

³³ The lot is cast into the lap; But the whole disposing thereof is of Jehovah.

⁷ And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.

²⁶ And they gave lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
