Komentarz do Jozuego 7:19

I beseech you, give honor. Ochan began to defame the casting of lots.¹⁷As a means of establishing guilt. He said to Yehoshua, “On the basis of casting lots, Are you accusing me? You and Elozer, the Kohein, are the greatest of the generation. If a lot was cast between you, it would certainly fall on one of you.”¹⁸Therefore lots are not a definitive method of reaching a decision. Yehoshua then said to him, ‘I beseech you, give honor, (etc).’ “I ask you, please do not defame the method of casting lots, for this is the way the land will ultimately be divided.”¹⁹You are therefore casting doubt on the division of the land.
