Proverbs 16:13
hint....type in ...replaced Judas
yes acts 16:33
Why were the lots cast?
At that particular time before Pentecost, however, there were men meeting these requirements, and two were put forth as suitable for replacing unfaithful Judas. Doubtless having in mind Proverbs 16:33, lots were cast, and Matthias was selected and was thereafter “reckoned along with the eleven apostles.” (Ac 1:23-26) He is thus included among “the twelve” who settled the problem concerning the Greek-speaking disciples (Ac 6:1,*2), and evidently Paul includes him in referring to “the twelve” when speaking of Jesus’ postresurrection appearances at 1*Corinthians 15:4-8. Thus, when Pentecost arrived, there were 12 apostolic foundations on which the spiritual Israel then formed could rest.
Thanks James for the input
