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.

Verse 54 is found in chapter 33 of Numbers. In the plains of Moab, God commands Israel to destroy the Canaanite cultic objects and distribute the land by lot. The warning that the remaining inhabitants could become thorns and adversaries shows that entering Canaan is not merely about acquiring territory. Israel must remove religious practices that would threaten covenant faithfulness and avoid cultic coexistence with them.

Und sollt das Land austeilen durchs Los unter eure Geschlechter. Denen, deren viele sind, sollt ihr desto mehr zuteilen, und denen, deren wenige sind, sollt ihr desto weniger zuteilen. Wie das Los einem jeglichen daselbst fällt, so soll er's haben; nach den Stämmen eurer Väter sollt ihr's austeilen.
Y heredaréis la tierra por suertes por vuestras familias: a los muchos daréis mucho por su heredad, y a los pocos daréis menos por heredad suya: donde le saliere la suerte, allí la tendrá cada uno: por las tribus de vuestros padres heredaréis.
Vous partagerez le pays par le sort, selon vos familles. A ceux qui sont en plus grand nombre vous donnerez une portion plus grande, et à ceux qui sont en plus petit nombre vous donnerez une portion plus petite. Chacun possédera ce qui lui sera échu par le sort: vous le recevrez en propriété, selon les tribus de vos pères.
E spartite la possessione del paese a sorte, secondo le vostre nazioni; a quelle che sono in maggior numero date maggior possessione, e minore a quelle che sono in minor numero; in qualunque luogo la sorte d’alcuna gli sarà scaduta quello sia suo; spartitevi la possessione del paese per le vostre tribù paterne.
E por sortes herdareis a terra, segundo as vossas famílias; aos muitos multiplicareis a herança, e aos poucos diminuireis a herança; conforme a sorte sair a alguém, ali a possuirá; segundo as tribos de vossos pais recebereis as heranças.
你們要按照宗族抽籤,承受土地:人多的要多給他們產業;人少的要少給他們產業。抽到何地給何人,那地就屬於他。你們要按照父系的支派承受產業。
