| 26:53 |
Among these [people] you shall divide the land as an inheritance, following a number of names [recorded].
La'eleh techalek ha'arets benachalah bemispar shemot. |

To a larger [group] you shall give a larger inheritance, while to a smaller group, you shall give a smaller inheritance. Each one shall thus be given his hereditary property according to its tally.
