52. The Lord said to Moses,

53. “Divide the land among these people by the number of names.

54. A large tribe will get more land, and a small tribe will get less land; the amount of land each tribe gets will depend on the number of its people.

55. Divide the land by drawing lots, and the land each tribe gets will be named for that tribe.

56. Divide the land between large and small groups by drawing lots.”
