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 הַגּ׳ עַל־פִּי 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; Greek Version of the LXX — not LXX of Lucian (Lag.) — omits ראישׁנה, & so) || 1 Chronicles 6:39; compare further Isaiah 34:17 (לְ הִפִּיל).
