Nombres 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.

Nombres 26:53 In-Context

51 Tels sont ceux des enfants d'Israël dont on fit le dénombrement: six cent un mille sept cent trente.

52 L'Eternel parla à Moïse, et dit:

53 Le pays sera partagé entre eux, pour être leur propriété, selon le nombre des noms.

54 A ceux qui sont en plus grand nombre tu donneras une portion plus grande, et à ceux qui sont en plus petit nombre tu donneras une portion plus petite; on donnera à chacun sa portion d'après le dénombrement.

55 Mais le partage du pays aura lieu par le sort; ils le recevront en propriété selon les noms des tribus de leurs pères.
