The Book of Ahkman

1Now in these matters the will of the Lord was determined by way of the Putim. For behold the priest did take a vessel; and within the vessel were places two stones. And the stones were equal in size. Now one stone was white and the other stone was black. And the priest would place his hand into the vessel and draw forth a stone. And if the Lord did guide his hand to select a white stone then the Lord did approve the thing. And if the Lord did guide his hand to select a black stone then the Lord did not approve that thing. And this was the manner that the will of the Lord was determined by the priests.
