lot.Though God had sufficiently pointed out by the predictions of Jacob and Moses what portions he designed for each tribe, yet we readily discern an admirable proof of His wisdom, in the orders he gave to decide them by lot.
By this means the false interpretations which might have been given to the words of Jacob and Moses were prevented; and by striking at the root of whatever might occasion jealousies and disputes among the tribes, he evidently secured the honesty of those appointed to distribute the conquered lands of Canaan.
Besides, the success of this method gave a fresh proof of the divinity of the Jewish religion, and the truth of its oracles.
Each tribe finding itself placed by lot exactly in the spot where Jacob and Moses foretold, it was evident that Providence had equally directed both the predictions and that lot; and it would be the greatest folly and presumption not to acknowledge the inspiration of God in the words of Jacob and Moses; the direction of his hand in the lot, and his providence in the event.
Nm. 26:55‑56• 55Empero la tierra será repartida por suerte; y por los nombres de las tribus de sus padres heredarán.
 56Conforme á la suerte será repartida su heredad entre el grande y el pequeño. (Nm. 26:55‑56)
