'Assigning' in the Bible

Joseph settled his father and brothers, assigning them their own land in the best part of Egypt (in the territory of Rameses), just as Pharaoh had ordered.

I'm assigning you one portion more than your brothers from the land that I confiscated from the control of the Amorites in battle."

They finished assigning the land according to its borders, and the {Israelites} gave an inheritance [from] among them to Joshua son of Nun.

He keeps track of the number of stars, assigning names to all of them.
