Verse 53 is found in chapter 26 of Numbers. God establishes principles for distributing the land according to the number of people in each tribe, while the lot determines the location. The Levites again appear separately because of their function. The chapter concludes by recalling that nearly all those originally counted at Sinai had died, except Joshua and Caleb. The new census therefore represents a decisive generational transition.
