The land assignments to the nine-and-a-half tribes were made by drawing lots, as the Lord had instructed Moses.

Then Moses commanded the Israelites: "This is the land which you will inherit by lot, which the Lord has commanded to be given to the nine and a half tribes,

saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance."
