Numbers 36:2
And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters. And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
Numbers 36:2 belongs to the closing chapters of Numbers as part of the instructions concerning the marriage of heiresses. The land inheritance of Israel was divided, assigned, and determined by lot. The Hebrew word translated lot is goh-rahl, meaning the divinely determined share or allotment itself. It does not mean the land or inheritance itself, and is distinct from the Hebrew word used for a region or inheritance territory.
