Numbers 26:52-56

The Second Census of Israel

⁵²Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: ⁵³“To these the land shall be divided as an inheritance, according to the number of names. ⁵⁴To a large tribe you shall give a larger inheritance, and to a small tribe you shall give a smaller inheritance. Each shall be given its inheritance according to those who were numbered of them. ⁵⁵But the land shall be divided by lot; they shall inherit according to the names of the tribes of their fathers. ⁵⁶According to the lot their inheritance shall be divided between the larger and the smaller.”
