52 Adonai then spoke to Moses saying,
53 “The land is to be divided to these as an inheritance according to the number of names.
54 For 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.
55 Certainly the land is to be divided by lot. They will inherit it according to the names of their ancestral tribes.
56 The division of the inheritance of larger and smaller tribes is to be decided by the lot.”
57 These were the numbers of the Levites by their families: by Gershon the Gershonite family, by Kohath the Kohathite family, by Merari the Merarite family.
58 These were the families of Levi: the Libnite family, the Hebronite family, the Machlite family, the Mushite family and the Korahite family. Kohath fathered Amram.
