Particularly: —

1 lot for dividing land, especially that which Joshua cast at Shiloh ׳לִפְנֵי י Joshua 18:6 (יָרָה) Joshua 18:8; Joshua 18:10 (both הִשְׁלִיךְ; all three followed by לְ of person for whom; all J E); compare Joshua 19:51 (P); so of lot coming up, or forth, עָלָה Joshua 18:11 (construct; P), also followed by לְ person Joshua 19:10 (P), & following with יָצָא Joshua 16:11 (JE), Numbers 33:54; Joshua 19:1,17,24,32,40; Joshua 21:4 (all P); be divided by lot ׳יֵחָלֵק בְּג Numbers 26:55, or according to lot תֵּחָלֵק ׳עַלמִּֿי הַגּ Numbers 26:56; apportion by lot הִתְנַחֲלוּ ׳בְּג Numbers 33:54; Numbers 34:13, ׳נִחַל בְּג Joshua 19:51; give by lot ׳נָתַן בְּג Numbers 36:2 ׳נָתַן בַּגּ Joshua 21:8 (all P) 1 Chronicles 6:50; have by lot ׳בַּגּ ׳הָיָה ל Joshua 21:4, & (היה omitted) Joshua 21:5; Joshua 21:6 (all P) compare 1 Chronicles 6:46; 1 Chronicles 6:48; also Joshua 21:10 (P; רִאישֹׁנָה ׳הַגּ, only here feminine; ᵐ5 — not ᵐ5L — omits ראישׁנה, & so) "" 1 Chronicles 6:39; compare further Isaiah 34:17 (הִמִּיל לְ).

2 lot for assigning to service, duty or punishment,

a. concerning the goats on day of atonement, Leviticus 16:8 (נָתַן עַל) Leviticus 16:8; Leviticus 16:8 (followed by לְ); compare Leviticus 16:9; Leviticus 16:10 (עָלָה עַל; all P).

Judges 20:9 ׳עָלֶיהָ בְּג, reference to Judges 20:10 (determining who shall go up, and who supply provision) ᵐ5 ἀναβησόμεθα ἐπ’ αὐτὴν ἐν κλήρῳ, so Stu (insert perhaps נעלה), compare AV RV, BuRS 151 (who reads ׳נַמִּילָה בְּג); > ᵑ6 Be Ke who reference ׳ג here to division of land of captured city.

f. to determine guilty persons Jonah 1:7 (twice in verse) (both הִמִּיל) Jonah 1:17 (נָפַל עַל); so apparently Ezekiel 24:6 of inhabitants of Jerusalem under figure of flesh in pot ׳לֹאנָֿפַל עָלֶיהָ ג no lot is fallen over it, i.e. no discrimination is made, destruction is to include the whole city; (compare also Joshua 7:14ff.; 1 Samuel 14:41ff. where divine agency in detection is prominent but word גּוֺרָל not used).
