So the Israelites did as the LORD had commanded Moses: This is a summary of verses 1–5. Yahweh told Moses how to divide up the land when they were on the plains of Moab, before they entered the land of Canaan (Numbers 33:50–54).

The Israelites followed the Lord’s instructions to Moses. (NET)

They divided the land in the way he told them to do.
