Numbers 26:55

26:55 The land must be divided by lot; and they will inherit in accordance with the names of their ancestral tribes.

Numbers 32:18

32:18 We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has his inheritance.

Numbers 34:18

34:18 You must take one leader from every tribe to assist in allocating the land as an inheritance.

Numbers 34:29

34:29 These are the ones whom the Lord commanded to divide up the inheritance among the Israelites in the land of Canaan.


tn This sense is created by repetition: “one leader, one leader from the tribe.”

tn The sentence simply uses לִנְחֹל (linkhol, “to divide, apportion”). It has been taken already to mean “allocate as an inheritance.” Here “assist” may be added since Joshua and Eleazar had the primary work.
