In Context

24and they said, “If we cut this up into bits, then it will be no good any more.” So they didn’t cut it up, but they gambled for it. A long time ago, one of God’s men wrote about this, and it is in God’s book. He wrote, “They split up my clothes among each other, and they gambled for my shirt.” When the soldiers did that, it happened just like that man wrote in God’s book.
