Commentary on Numbers 26:56
The summary statement—'according to the lot shall the possession thereof be divided'—combines divine sovereignty (lot) with fair distribution (according to numbers). The two principles work together: God determines the what and where (by lot), while proportionality ensures the how much (by census). This dual emphasis teaches that God's sovereignty doesn't negate justice, and justice doesn't limit sovereignty. The Reformed understanding that God's decrees are both absolute and wise is illustrated—He ordains what He wills, and what He wills is just.
