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. 55 Notwithstanding the

their fathers they shall inherit. 56 According to the lot shall the
possession thereof be divided between many and few.”

Nun.” (Nu 26:1-65 AV)
