“And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit. give the more: Heb. multiply his inheritance give the less: Heb. diminish his inheritance”
Numbers 33:54 (KJV)
Commentary on Numbers 33:54
The repetition of proportional distribution principles—'to more ye shall give the more inheritance, to fewer ye shall give the less'—emphasizes God's commitment to equity. Larger families needed more land; smaller families needed less. This wasn't equality (everyone receiving the same) but equity (everyone receiving according to need). This teaches that biblical justice considers circumstances while maintaining righteousness. The Reformed emphasis on both God's absolute justice and His wise application of it to particular situations is reflected here.
