Numeri 26:53 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 26:53

Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance
That were numbered, and to none else:

according to the number of their names;
and for this end was the number of them now taken, that the land might be equally divided among them; women and minors, or such as were under twenty years of age, had no share in it; and even only those who were at that age at this time; so Jarchi says, it was not divided to any that were less than twenty years of age, even though they came to be full twenty before the division of the land; for they were seven years subduing it, and seven years dividing it, yet none took any part of it but these 601,730: nay, he says, if a man had six children they took but their father's part only.

Numeri 26:53 In-Context

51 Questi sono gli annoverati de’ figliuoli d’Israele, in numero di seicentunmila settecentrenta.

52 E il Signore parlò a Mosè, dicendo:

53 Sia il paese spartito tra costoro per eredità, secondo il numero delle persone.

54 Da’ maggiore eredità a chi è in maggior numero, e minore a chi è in minor numero; diasi a ciascuno eredità a ragione de’ suoi annoverati.

55 Ma pure spartiscasi il paese a sorte; e abbiano eredità secondo i nomi delle loro tribù paterne.
