While the Bible does not explicitly mention gambling, it does mention events of “luck” or “chance.” As an example, casting lots is used in Leviticus to choose between the sacrificial goat and the scapegoat. Joshua cast lots to determine the allotment of land to the various tribes. Nehemiah cast lots to determine who would live inside the walls of Jerusalem.
Kamari katika Biblia: ijapokuwa biblia haitaji moja kwa moja michezo ya kamari, huzungumzia michezo Fulani ya bahati nasibu kama kupiga kura katika Mambo ya Walawi kuchagua baina ya mbuzi wa sadaka na mbuzi wa lawama. Yoshua alipigia kura ugawaji wa ardhi kwa makabila mbali mbali. Nehemia alipiga kura kutambua nani atakayeishi ndani ya nyua za Yerusalemu na nani asiishi ndani yake.
