“Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.”
Numbers 26:55 (KJV)
Commentary on Numbers 26:55
The command that 'the land shall be divided by lot' establishes divine determination as primary in inheritance. Human wisdom, tribal power, and personal preference were subordinated to God's sovereign allocation. The lot ensured that each tribe received what God intended, not what they could negotiate or seize. This reflects the Reformed doctrine of election—God chooses whom He will bless, not based on human merit or effort but according to His sovereign purpose. Our inheritance is by divine decision, not human achievement.
