Numbers 33:54

And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: [and] to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's [inheritance] shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.

And ye shall divide {H5157} the land {H776} by lot {H1486} for an inheritance {H5157} among your families {H4940}: and to the more {H7227} ye shall give the more {H7235} inheritance {H5159}, and to the fewer {H4592} ye shall give the less {H4591} inheritance {H5159}: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot {H1486} falleth {H3318}; according to the tribes {H4294} of your fathers {H1} ye shall inherit {H5157}.

You will inherit the land by lot according to your families. You are to give more land to the larger families and less to the smaller ones. Wherever the lot falls to any particular person, that will be his property. You will inherit according to the tribes of your ancestors.

And you are to divide the land by lot according to your clans. Give a larger inheritance to a larger clan and a smaller inheritance to a smaller one. Whatever falls to each one by lot will be his. You will receive an inheritance according to the tribes of your fathers.

And ye shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer thou shalt give the less inheritance: wheresoever the lot falleth to any man, that shall be his; according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye inherit.
