Deuteronomy 22:6

“If a bird’s nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young.”

Chance, Randomization ⁽²³⁹⁾

Although some interpret the fact that lots were cast in the Bible as proof that biblical peoples viewed this practice as a way for divining the will of God, this was not always the case. In some ways, the use of such a chancy operation indicates that the Hebrews understood that some things were, or could be, left to chance and that determinism was not necessarily the law of the universe. In fact biblical peoples acknowledged that some things simply happen by chance and not necessarily by the will of God.
