Esther 9:24-26
9:24 For Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised plans against the Jews to destroy them. He had cast
pur (that is, the lot) in order to afflict and destroy them.
9:25 But when the matter came to the king’s attention, the king
gave written orders that Haman’s
evil intentions that he had devised against the Jews should fall on his own head. He and his sons were hanged on the gallows.
9:26 For this reason these days are known as
Purim, after the name of
pur.
Proverbs 16:33
16:33 The dice are thrown into the lap,
but their every decision is from the Lord.
Ezekiel 21:21-22
21:21 For the king of Babylon stands at the fork
in the road at the head of the two routes. He looks for omens:
He shakes arrows, he consults idols,
he examines
animal livers.
21:22 Into his right hand
comes the portent for Jerusalem – to set up battering rams, to give the signal
for slaughter, to shout out the battle cry,
to set up battering rams against the gates, to erect a siege ramp, to build a siege wall.
Matthew 27:35
27:35 When
they had crucified
him,
they divided his clothes by throwing dice.
