# He has cast lots for their places

This speaks of Yahweh deciding where to cause the animals to live as if he actually cast lots for their places. AT: "He has determined where they will live" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

This refers to the way that people measured things in biblical times. AT: "he has given the animals their places" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
