'Lottery' in the Bible

They were chosen by impartial lottery, since there were trustees of the sanctuary and officers of God among both Eleazar's descendants and among Ithamar's descendants.

The first lottery was chosen in favor of Jehoiarib, the second for Jedaiah,

Their duties, whether significant or insignificant, whether performed by teacher or pupil alike, were assigned by lottery.

Asaph's first lottery was cast in favor of Joseph; the second went to Gedaliah, that is, to him, to his relatives, and his sons, for a total of twelve;

assigned by lottery according to their ancestral households, whether large or small alike, for their gate assignments.
