The lot is cast into the lap; as the ancient practice was in dividing inheritances, and deciding doubtful things, of which see Numbers 26:55 Joshua 7:16 1 Samuel 10:20,21 1 Samuel 14:41,42 Pr 1:14 Acts 1:26. The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord; the event, though casual to men, is directed and determined by God's counsel and providence.
