Exegesis
The interrogative phrase tinos estai {τίνος ἔσται | tí-nos é-stai} forms an embedded question (“whose it will be”), syntactically dependent on the implied purpose of casting lots.
In context — John 19:24
Therefore they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but let us cast lots for it to see whose it will be,” so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, “They divided my garments among themselves, and for my clothing they cast lots.” Therefore, the soldiers did these things.
