SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:53

A éstos se repartirá la tierra en heredad, por la cuenta de los nombres.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 53. Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance , etc.] That were numbered, and to none else: according to the number of their names ; and for this end was the number of them now taken, that the land might be equally divided among them; women and minors, or such as were under twenty years of age, had no share in it; and even only those who were at that age at this time; so Jarchi says, it was not divided to any that were less than twenty years of age, even though they came to be full twenty before the division of the land; for they were seven years subduing it, and seven years dividing it, yet none took any part of it but these 601,730: nay, he says, if a man had six children they took but their father’s part only.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 52-56 - In distributing these tribes, the general rule of equity is prescribed that to many should be given more, and to fewer less. Though it seem left to the prudence of their prince, the matter at last must be settled by the providence of God, with which all must be satisfied.
