Canaan: Land of Divided by Lot Among the Twelve Tribes, and Families

Indeed, the land must be divided by lot; they shall receive their inheritance according to the names of the tribes of their fathers.

Each inheritance is to be divided by lot among the larger and smaller tribes.”

And you are to divide the land by lot according to your clans. Give a larger inheritance to a larger clan and a smaller inheritance to a smaller one. Whatever falls to each one by lot will be his. You will receive an inheritance according to the tribes of your fathers.

So Moses commanded the Israelites, “Apportion this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD has commanded that it be given to the nine and a half tribes.
