“To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few thou shalt give the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of him.”
Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit — Though the distribution follows population numbers, the specific boundaries will be determined by lot. This interweaves human logic (proportional distribution) with divine determination (the lot). The lot removes human favoritism and ensures that each tribe's inheritance is assigned by divine will.
