1 Chronicles 24:5
They divided them impartially by casting lots, for there were officials of the sanctuary and officials of God among the descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar.
1 Chronicles 24:31
They also cast lots, just as their relatives the descendants of Aaron did, in the presence of King David and of Zadok, Ahimelek, and the heads of families of the priests and of the Levites. The families of the oldest brother were treated the same as those of the youngest.
Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Wed, Oct. 6, CASTING LOTS (I Chron
24:5, 31). Casting lots was 1 of the ways used by The Israelites to determine and to know things. It was a beneficial way to be used in many things.
1. The fair order of ministry.
In this case, when they wanted to make a fair order of ministry in the temple, they casted lots.
2. The fixed part of the land.
When they wanted to determine this tribe to own this and that tribe to own that part of the land, they casted lots. They would own the land till forever.
3. The fault of a person.
When they wanted to know the person whom caused the great turmoil and storm for their ship, they casted lot and they found out it was Jonah. As long as they didn’t use lots for gambling, it was fine to use lots. ASH.
