“And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man’s inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.”
And ye shall divide the land by lot according to your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit — the division of the land employs both lot-casting (divine determination) and demographic weighting (larger tribes receive larger territories). The phrase "where his lot falleth" emphasizes that divine election through the lot determines individual and tribal placement, removing human favoritism.
