Verse 13
And they cast lots ,.... To determine at which gate each should stand, who at this gate, and who at the other, &c.;
as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate ; meaning, not little ones and grown persons in a family, but the smaller and poorer families, and the larger and richer ones, had their places assigned them at the several gates, as the lot directed; they did not go according to the dignity and precedence of their families, but according to lot.
