From Tamar's upcoming article

Aleph Bet Divination: The Ancient and Modern Use of Hebrew Lots".

The casting of lots in Jewish tradition is an unbroken practice of divination of God’s will (the Source, the universe, or whatever name we use), which goes back to even before The Bible. In fact, the casting of lots is mentioned over 70 times in The Bible. Its main purpose is clear, as explained in Proverbs 16:33: "The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord”. Lots are often small pieces of ceramics, or wood, or parchment, upon which are written words or symbols that have meaning the reader uses to divine the answer.
