Judges 1:3
And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him. And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.
Judges 1:3 belongs to the introduction to the book, chapters 1, 2, and 3:1-6, which shows that Israel had not possessed all of the country. It records Judah and Simeon agreeing to help one another fight in their respective allotted territories. In that agreement the word lot denotes the portion or territory assigned to Judah and Simeon.
The word translated lot is the Hebrew word goh-rah-l, also spelled goh-rahl. It is the same Hebrew word translated lot in Daniel 12:13, found seventy-six times in the Old Testament. Lot means that by which a portion or fate is determined, that which is committed to chance, in strictness the determination of Providence. In this verse it does not mean region, country, or lot of inheritance, which is a different Hebrew word gheh-vel.
Its use here is evidence of the word's use, distinguished from the meaning lot of inheritance. It shows that lot can mean an assigned portion, distinct from lot in Daniel 12:13, which means a person's case or portion in the decisions of judgment. It shows that standing in his lot at the end of the 1335 days means standing in his lot in the decisions of the judgment of the righteous dead, with all the righteous dead in the person of his Advocate, since the ending of the days, not standing in the lot of inheritance in the resurrection.
