This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1890 edition. Excerpt: ...more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan. And to withdraw His Presence and abandon Israel to defeat (Josh. vii. II, 12). At a later time Saul's own sin made God desert Him in the same way (ch. xxviii. 6, 15). _'onathan's transgression of the oath, although unintentional, was an offence against the Majesty of the Divine Name which could not be left unnoticed. 41.

If this reading is correct, it points to the conclusion that the "judgment of Urim and Thummim" was obtained by a special method of casting lots, which was employed on the present occasion. See further on xxviii. 6. The Heb. text implies that the ordinary lot only was used. 2. And Saul said, &c. Again the Sept. text is fuller. "And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son: whomsoever the Lord taketh by lot, let him tlie. And the people said unto Saul, This thing shall not be. And Saul prevailed over the people, and the cast lots between him and Jonathan his son, and Jonathan was taken.' The omission in the Heb. text may be accounted for by nomoeoteleuton (x. I. note), the words for my son and his son being almost identical. 43. Toll mo In like manner Joshua moved Achan to confess, when the lot had fixed upon him as the "troubler of Israel..".
