51 The total number of Israelite men was 601,730.
52 Then the Lord said to Moses,
53 “The land these people will possess must be divided using the list of names ⌊from the census⌋.
54 Give more land to larger tribes and less land to smaller ones. Use the totals ⌊from the census⌋ in giving land to each tribe.
55 But the land must be divided by drawing lots. The tribes will receive their land based on the names of their ancestors.
56 Whether the tribes are large or small, the land must be divided by drawing lots.”
57 The families descended from Levi were listed as the family of Gershon, the family of Kohath, and the family of Merari.
