Besides , the success of this method gave a fresh proof of the divinity of the Jewish religion , and the truth of its oracles. Each tribe finding itself placed by lot exactly in the spot where Jacob and Moses foretold , it was evident that Providence had equally directed both the predictions and that lot; and it would be the greatest folly and presumption not to acknowledge the inspiration of God in the words of Jacob and Moses; the direction of his hand in the lot , and his providence in the event
