the lots
| Morphological Notes | Definite article + masculine plural noun (proper name form in some contexts) from פּוּר. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form includes the definite article הַ and the masculine plural noun פּוּרִים, meaning multiple objects used for casting lots. Rendering it as "the lots" preserves both the plurality and the concrete root sense of physical lots used for selection. |
