21 And there were certain men and they said, Let us now make us a lottery, and let there be a prize to it also.
22 Peradventure the people will bring them a mighty weight of money for the hazard, and the treasury, it will become full up and flowing over.
23 And though every man did agree that it was so, nevertheless, the rulers, they dared not to do it.
24 For they feared the Pharisees that did speak in their tabernacles against it. And the Pharisees at that time, they were a power in the land of En.
25 Nevertheless, it did come to pass in otherwise. For there were two bazaars in the city of Lon; and the one was of Har, and the other, it was of Sel.
26 And they set them up counters that the people might bring them money for to lend it unto the rulers; also, they made them a lottery of it.
27 And when the matter of their design, it was noised abroad, and that they did scheme to make them a lottery of it.
28 Then all the people hied them thither with one accord, and they did lend them money unto the rulers with a very ready hand.
29 ¶ And after it was all counted up, behold, the sum of it was very great, passing all belief.
30 ¶ But when the rulers heard about it, they sent word unto the bazaars, commanding them that they should do this thing no more.
