Kulaba ilizwe lizakwehlukaniswa libe yilifa njengenani lamabizo.
54 To the more you shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer you shall give the less inheritance. To everyone according to those who were counted of him shall his inheritance be given.
Kwabanengi uzakwengeza ilifa labo, lakwabalutshwana uzanciphisa ilifa labo; ngulowo lalowo uzanikwa ilifa lakhe njengababaliweyo bakhe.
55 Notwithstanding, the land shall be divided by lot. According to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.
Loba kunjalo ilizwe lizakwehlukaniswa ngenkatho; ngokwamabizo ezizwe zaboyise bazalidla ilifa.
56 According to the lot shall their inheritance be divided between the more and the fewer.”
Ngokwenkatho ilifa lalo lizakwehlukaniswa phakathi kwabanengi labalutshwana.

Kodwa phakathi kwalabo kwakungekho muntu wababalwayo nguMozisi loAroni umpristi, lapho bebala abantwana bakoIsrayeli enkangala yeSinayi;
65 For Yahweh had said of them, “They shall surely die in the wilderness.” There was not a man left of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
ngoba iNkosi yayithe ngabo: Bazakufa lokufa enkangala. Njalo kakusalanga muntu kubo ngaphandle kukaKalebi indodana kaJefune, loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.
