“Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names.”
Numbers 26:53 (KJV)
Commentary on Numbers 26:53
The principle that land distribution be proportional to population—'to many thou shalt give more inheritance, to few less'—demonstrates divine justice and equity. Larger tribes received more land, smaller tribes less, ensuring adequate provision while preventing accumulation or deprivation. This proportional justice reflects God's character—He judges fairly, considering circumstances while maintaining righteousness. The Reformed understanding that God's justice is both absolute (His standard is unchanging) and particular (applied to specific circumstances) is illustrated here.
