52. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

53. "The land shall be divided to these, as their possessions, according to the number of their names.

54. To the greater number you shall give a greater portion, and to the lesser number, a lesser portion. To each one, just as they have now been counted, a possession shall be delivered.

55. Yet only in so far as the land is divided by lot to a tribe and to families.

56. Whatever the lot will happen to be, it shall be accepted, either by the greater, or by the lesser.
