26:52 Then the Lord spoke to Moses:
26:53 “To these the land must be divided as an inheritance according to the number of the names.
26:54 To 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.
26:55 The land must be divided by lot; and they will inherit in accordance with the names of their ancestral tribes.

26:63 These are those who were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the Israelites in the plains of Moab along the Jordan River opposite Jericho.

26:65 For 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.
