Numbers 26:51-56

New International Reader's Version

⁵¹ The total number of the men of Israel was 601,730.

⁵² The Lord said to Moses, ⁵³ “I will give the land to them. The amount of land each family receives will be based on the number of its men. ⁵⁴ Give a larger share to a larger family. Give a smaller share to a smaller family. Each family will receive its share based on the number of men listed in it.

⁵⁵ “Be sure that you cast lots when you give out the land. What each family receives will be based on the number of men listed in its tribe. ⁵⁶ Cast lots when you give out each share. Cast lots for the larger and smaller families alike.”
