| And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names. To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few thou shalt give the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of him. Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit. According to the lot shall the possession thereof be divided between many and few. | ||
| Numbers 26:52–56 | ||
| Although the size of the tribe would determine the size of the property given them, the location of the property would be determined by lot, by “drawing straws.” I find the combination of verses 53 to 54, and 55 to 56 fascinating because in the former we see Jesus’ parable of the pounds (Luke 19:12–27), in which servants were rewarded according to what they did with an equal number of pounds given to each of them, while in the latter, we see Jesus’ parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14–30), in which the servants were rewarded according to what they did with the differing amounts given sovereignly to them. Thus, man’s free will and God’s sovereignty both enter into the equation. | ||
