Psaume 22:18 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 22:18

They part my garments among them
Such as died the death of the cross were crucified naked F8, 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 John 19:24 ) .

Psaume 22:18 In-Context

16 Ma vigueur est desséchée comme la brique; ma langue est attachée à mon palais, et tu m'as couché dans la poussière de la mort.
17 Car des chiens m'ont environné, une bande de méchants m'a entouré; ils ont percé mes mains et mes pieds.
18 Je compterais tous mes os. Ils me considèrent et me regardent.
19 Ils partagent entre eux mes vêtements; ils tirent ma robe au sort.
20 Toi donc, Éternel, ne t'éloigne pas!
