“Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)”
Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:) — the land's boundaries are defined as "the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof," a comprehensive region. The phrase "shall fall unto you" (using the lot-language) frames inheritance as divine apportionment, not conquest-determined.
