Just want to gather some research information on the topic of Casting of Lots. So wondering if anyone has any good credible resources they could suggest checking out on this topic. I would like something that is just stating facts, rather then try to be religious. So far from my research, I can guess that it's a form of lottery/divination to learn God's will.
I'm also curious on what was used to Cast Lots (paper? clay? stone? sticks? coin?)
So far all I have is information from the bible.
Jonah 1:7 is one example I have:
"And they said to one another, "Come, let us cast lots, that we may know on whose account this evil has come upon us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah."
