Psalm 22:18
They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
They part my garments among them,.... Such as died the death of the cross were crucified naked {h}, and their clothes were the perquisites of the executioners; there were four soldiers concerned in the crucifixion of Christ, and these parted his garments into four parts, and everyone took his part;
and cast lots on my vesture; which was a seamless coat, wove from the top to the bottom; and therefore, not willing to rend it, they cast lots upon it who should have it; all this was exactly fulfilled in Christ, John 19:23.
{h} Vid Lipsium de Cruce, l. 2. c. 7. p. 81.
