I think the bible’s account of picking the 12th disciple (after the departure of Judas) is an example of this. They cast lots believing God would decide between eligible candidates. Casting lots allows for an unbiased decision and preserves group unity. So no one gets picked just because they “know the right person” and the team can’t squabble and bicker because so and so pulled strings to get in.
