52 Then Yahweh told Mosheh (Moses), 53 “The land should be allocated to those clans according to the number of their names, to become their inheritance. 54 Those with larger numbers should receive more, and the smaller groups receive less, i.e., each inheritance depends on the number of family members. 55 You must throw lots to determine which clan gets which piece of land.[ref] The lands of the clans must be within their tribal lands. 56 Then the size of the area that will become their inheritance must be apportioned according to the census numbers.
