⁵⁴ You shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the more you shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer you shall give the less inheritance: wherever the lot falls to any man, that shall be his; according to the tribes of your fathers shall you inherit.

³ The cities shall they have to dwell in; and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their substance, and for all their animals.

⁶ You shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring [the description] here to me; and I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh our God.

³³ The lot is cast into the lap, But its every decision is from Yahweh.

¹⁸ The lot settles disputes, And keeps strong ones apart.
