numbers 26:54 "To the larger [group] you shall increase their inheritance, and to the smaller [group] you shall diminish their inheritance; each shall be given their inheritance according to those who were numbered of them.

< Numbers 26:53
Numbers 26:55 >

      54. To many thou shalt give the more inheritance--that is, to the more numerous tribes a larger allotment shall be granted.
      according to those that were numbered--the number of persons twenty years old at the time of the census being made, without taking into account either the increase of those who might have attained that age, when the land should be actually distributed, or the diminution from that amount, occasioned during the war of invasion.
