lagchano denotes receiving or being assigned something by lot, including a place, possession, or share.

The attested use chiefly concerns receiving, selecting, or assigning something by lot: a priestly service, an item of clothing, and faith are presented in that setting. In Acts 1:17, the same verb describes receiving a share in ministry, though the translation does not explicitly mention a lot there.

1. Receive or be assigned by lot · dominant

   In Luke 1:9, the aorist indicative form occurs where a priest is selected to enter the temple and burn incense; the APB renders the clause "he was chosen by lot." In John 19:24, the first-person aorist subjunctive occurs in the soldiers' proposal concerning whose the clothing will be, and the APB renders "cast lots for it." The aorist participle in 2 Peter 1:1 describes recipients of faith, where the APB renders "have received by lot a faith."

2. Receive a share or allotted part · rare

   In Acts 1:17, the aorist indicative describes a person who "was numbered among us and received a share in this ministry" in the APB. The verse presents receipt of a ministry share, without explicitly stating the lot procedure in the translation.

   Acts 1:17

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses "chosen by lot," "cast lots," and "received by lot" in Luke 1:9, John 19:24, and 2 Peter 1:1. In Acts 1:17 it instead presents "received a share," so the lemma's specific contribution is less explicit in that translation.
