Inheritance by Lot

52
Then the LORD said to Moses,
53
The land is to be divided among the tribes as an inheritance, according to the number of names.
54
Increase the inheritance for a large tribe and decrease it for a small one; each tribe is to receive its inheritance according to the number of those registered.
55
Indeed, the land must be divided by lot; they shall receive their inheritance according to the names of the tribes of their fathers.

Each inheritance is to be divided by lot among the larger and smaller tribes.”
