The plague having swept away the last of that devoted generation , which provoked the Lord to "swear in his wrath that they should not enter" Canaan; he now , after an interval of 38 years , commands another census of the Israelites to be made , to preserve the distinction of families , and to regulate the tribes previous to their entry into the promised land , as well as to ascertain the proportion of land which should be allotted to each tribe. For , though the whole was divided by lot , yet the portions were so disposed , that a numerous tribe did not draw where the lots assigned small inheritances , or the contrary

Numbers 26:56

Each inheritance is to be divided by lot among the larger and smaller tribes.”

Numbers 26:56 · BSB

This division by lot seems to have respect only to the quarter , or situation , which each tribe was to possess , and not to the quantity or extent of land , which was to be proportioned to the numbers of each tribe , according to the register now formed. Thus , for instance , it was determined by lot which of the twelve tribes was to inherit in the south , which in the north , etc.2 parallels

then , in that quarter where the lot fell , a larger or smaller portion of land was assigned them , according to the goodness of the soil , and in proportion as they were more or less numerous. Thus the decreasing of any tribe in the wilderness , proved the decrease of their future political importance and affluence in all succeeding ages. This equal division of property was , under God , the great bulwark and strength of the Hebrew commonwealth. According to the most exact calculations , Canaan contained 14 ,976 ,000 acres; which , divided among 600 ,000 men , will allow of more than 21 acres and a half to each , with a remainder of 1 ,976 ,000 acres for the princes of tribes , Levitical cities , etc. , so that there was an ample provision to enable each person , with all the advantages of that fertile country and fine climate , to live , if not in affluent , yet in very comfortable circumstances. Canaan lies between lat. 31 degrees and 33 degrees 30 minutes n , and long. 35 degrees and 37 degrees e; its length , from the city of Dan to Beersheba , is about 200 miles; and its breadth , from the shores of the Mediterranean to the eastern borders , about 90. The Canaanites , the descendants of Canaan , son of Ham , and the original inhabitants of the land , were divided into seven principal nations . the Amorites , Hittites , Jebusites , Girgashites , Canaanites , Perizzites , and Hivites , and formed themselves into almost as many kingdoms as they had cities. After their defeat by the Israelites , such as escaped the sword became tributary; but in process of time , having seduced them to their idolatries , they recovered many of the strongest places in the country; and even formed themselves into a mighty kingdom in Galilee. They were , however , again defeated by Barak , but were not finally subdued till the reign of David and Solomon; the latter of whom employed 153 ,600 in the most servile parts of the work of building the temple , palace , etc
