1After the plague, Adonai said to Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron the kohen saying,
2“Take a headcount of the entire community of Bnei-Yisrael, sons twenty years old and upward, by their ancestral houses, all who can serve in Israel’s army.”
3So Moses and Eleazar the kohen spoke with them on the Moabite plains by the Jordan across from Jericho saying,

54For the larger, you are to make his inheritance larger, and to the smaller you are to make his inheritance smaller. Each is to receive his inheritance in proportion to his population.
55Certainly the land is to be divided by lot. They will inherit it according to the names of their ancestral tribes.
