Particularly: —
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).
2. lot for assigning to service, duty or punishment,
a. concerning the goats on day of atonement, Leviticus 16:8 (נָתַן עַל) Leviticus 16:8; Leviticus 16:8 (followed by לְ); compare Leviticus 16:9; Leviticus 16:10 (עָלָה עַל; all P).
b. assigning priests to their courses, singers, musicians & porters to their duties, by lot חָלַק בְּג׳ 1 Chronicles 24:5; ג׳ הִפִּיל 1 Chronicles 24:31; 1 Chronicles 25:8; 1 Chronicles 26:13 (followed by לְ of position) 1 Chronicles 26:14; of lot coming forth (יָצָא לְ person) 1 Chronicles 24:7 (compare 1 Chronicles 24:7; 1 Chronicles 24:18) 1 Chronicles 25:9 (compare 1 Chronicles 25:9-31) 1 Chronicles 26:14 compare וַיֵּצֵא גּוֺרָלוֺ 1 Chronicles 26:14.
c. cast lots for dwelling in Jerusalem (ג׳ הִפִּיל) Nehemiah 1:11 (followed by infinitive).

e. Judges 20:9 עָלֶיהָ בְּג׳, reference to Judges 20:10 (determining who shall go up, and who supply provision) Greek Version of the LXX ἀναβησόμεθα ἐπ’ αὐτὴν ἐν κλήρῳ, so Stu (insert perhaps נעלה), compare AV RV, BuRS 151 (who reads בְּג׳ נַפִּילָה); > Syriac Version Be Ke who reference ג׳ here to division of land of captured city.
f. to determine guilty persons Jonah 1:7 (twice in verse) (both הִפִּיל) Jonah 1:17 (נָפַל עַל); so apparently Ezekiel 24:6 of inhabitants of Jerusalem under figure of flesh in pot לֹא־נָפַל עָלֶיהָ ג׳ no lot is fallen over it, i.e. no discrimination is made, destruction is to include the whole city; (compare also Joshua 7:14ff.; 1 Samuel 14:41ff. where divine agency in detection is prominent but word גּוֺרָל not used).

3. thing assigned, apportioned, allotted especially of land assigned by lot, allotment Joshua 15:1; Joshua 17:1; Joshua 21:38 (all P), Joshua 17:14, 17 = portion, share (|| נַחֲלָה J E); compare גֹּרַל נַחֲלָתֵנוּ Numbers 36:3 (P), גּוֺרַל נַחֲלָתָם Joshua 14:2 (P; but perhaps read absolute גּוֺרָל compare Di); also גְּבוּל גּוֺרָלָם Joshua 18:11 (P) the boundary of their allotment; עָרֵי גוֺרָלָם Joshua 21:20 (P); see further Judges 1:3 (twice in verse); so probably Micah 2:5 הִשְׁלִיךְ חֶבֶל בְּג׳ (Hi Che; compare also Ew); Psalm 125:3, land, exposed to oppressive exaction; also figurative of י׳ as portion, allotment of his people Psalm 16:5 (so Che, & on תָּמִיד for תּוֺמִיךְ compare his critical note; see also Ew; otherwise De and others; — || מְנָת חֶלְקִי); on the other hand, of idols Isaiah 57:6 (|| חֵלֶק); also עָמַד לְג׳ Daniel 12:13, of allotted portion, share, in the Messianic consummation; more generally, one's portion, lot, fortune בְּתוֺכֵנוּ תַּפִּיל גּוֺרָֽלְךָ Proverbs 1:14 cast thy fortune into the midst of us, in with us (|| כִּיס אֶחָד יִהְיֶה לְכֻלָּנוּ).
4. portion = recompence, retribution Isaiah 17:14 (|| חֵלֶק), Jeremiah 13:25 (|| מְנָת מִדַּיִךְ), both implying divine agency.
