Commentary on Jonah 1:7
Theological / DevotionalCast lots. The sailors felt that someone had provoked the anger of the gods. The Lord overruled in their method of determining who the culprit was, so that “the lot fell upon Jonah.”
On the question of the right or wrong of casting lots see on Eze. 21:21.
