lot
LOT, noun
1. That which, in human speech, is called chance, hazard, fortune; but in strictness of language, is the determination of Providence; as, the land shall be divided by lot Numbers 26:55.
2. That by which the fate or portion of one is determined; that by which an event is committed to chance, that is, to the determination of Providence; as, to cast lots; to draw lots.
The lot is cast into the lap, but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:33.
3. The part, division or fate which falls to one by chance, that is, by divine determination.
The second lot came forth to Simeon. Joshua 19:1.
He was but born to try the lot of man, to suffer and to die.
4. A distinct portion or parcel; as a lot of goods; a lot of boards.
5. Proportion or share of taxes; as, to pay scot and lot
6. In the United States, a piece or division of land; perhaps originally assigned by drawing lots, but now any portion, piece or division. So we say, a man has a lot of land in Broadway, or in the meadow; he has a lot in the plain, or on the mountain; he has a home-lot, a house-lot, a wood-lot.

To draw lots, to determine an event by drawing one thing from a number whose marks are concealed from the drawer, and thus determining an event.
LOT, verb transitive To allot; to assign; to distribute; to sort; to catalogue; to portion.
