Yahweh does not give this command to a specific person. This is a general command given to an unspecified person within this metaphor.

# but do not cast lots for it
|

|
Casting lots was a way of choosing which pieces of meat to take out, but because Yahweh wants to take out all of the pieces of meat, there is no need to cast lots.
