53"To these the land must be divided as an inheritance according to the number of the names.53“Divide the land among the tribes, and distribute the grants of land in proportion to the tribes’ populations, as indicated by the number of names on the list.
54To a larger group you will give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group you will give a smaller inheritance. To each one its inheritance must be given according to the number of people in it.54Give the larger tribes more land and the smaller tribes less land, each group receiving a grant in proportion to the size of its population.
55The land must be divided by lot; and they will inherit in accordance with the names of their ancestral tribes.55But you must assign the land by lot, and give land to each ancestral tribe according to the number of names on the list.
56Their inheritance must be apportioned by lot among the larger and smaller groups. 56Each grant of land must be assigned by lot among the larger and smaller tribal groups.” The Tribe of Levi

65For the LORD had said of them, "They will surely die in the wilderness." And there was not left a single man of them, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. 65For the LORD had said of them, “They will all die in the wilderness.” Not one of them survived except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
