53 “The land is to be allotted to them as an inheritance based on the number of names.
53
"The land is to be parceled out among these as a possession to be inherited, according to the number of names.
54 To a larger group give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group a smaller one; each is to receive its inheritance according to the number of those listed.
54
To those families with more persons you are to give a greater inheritance, and to those with fewer you are to give a smaller inheritance - each family's inheritance is to be given according to the number counted in it.
55 Be sure that the land is distributed by lot. What each group inherits will be according to the names for its ancestral tribe.
55
However, the land is to be awarded by lot. They will inherit according to the names of the tribes of their ancestors,
56 Each inheritance is to be distributed by lot among the larger and smaller groups.”
56
but the inheritance is to be parceled out by lot between the families with more and those with fewer."
