Commentary on Numbers 26:54
The repeated emphasis on proportional distribution—'according to those that were numbered of him shall his inheritance be given'—demonstrates that God's allocation is based on actual circumstances, not arbitrary preference. The census provided objective data for fair distribution. This teaches that God's providence operates through means, not apart from them. The Reformed doctrine of divine concurrence—God works through natural processes while sovereignly directing outcomes—is illustrated. The lot determined location; the census determined size.
