Strong's Lexicon garol: Lot Original Word: גָּרֹל Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּרַל (garal), which means "to roll" or "to cast." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 2819: κλῆρος (kleros) - lot, portion, inheritance - Strong's Greek 2975: λαγχάνω (lagchano) - to obtain by lot Usage: The term "garol" refers to the practice of casting lots, a method used in ancient Israel to make decisions or determine God's will. It was often employed in situations where human judgment was insufficient or when seeking divine guidance. The casting of lots was seen as a way to allow God to reveal His choice or decision. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, casting lots was a common practice not only among the Israelites but also among other cultures. It was used in various contexts, such as dividing land, selecting individuals for specific tasks, or making decisions in uncertain situations. The practice was considered a legitimate means of discerning God's will, as it was believed that the outcome was determined by divine intervention. The Urim and Thummim, used by the high priest, were also related to this practice. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originanother reading for gadol, q.v. goral Definition see NH1486.
