Jonah 1:7. 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.
We commend not the action of these men in casting lots, but we admire the providence by which is the lot fell upon Jonah. Solomon says, "The lot is cast into the lap," but he did not say that it was right that lots should be cast into the lap; and he very properly added, "but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord."
