aan een groten stam zult gij een groot aan een kleinen een klein erfdeel toewijzen; aan elk zal een erfdeel naar het aantal zijner gemonsterden gegeven worden.
Aan degenen, die veel zijn, zult gij hun erfenis meerder maken, en aan hen, die weinig zijn, zult gij hun erfenis minder maken; aan een iegelijk zal, naar zijn getelden, zijn erfenis gegeven worden.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few thou shalt give the less inheritance,.... To a tribe more numerous, and consisting of more and larger families, a greater part of the land was to be given to them to possess; and to a smaller tribe, and of the fewer families and persons in them, a lesser share of it: this direction is given to Moses, but is not designed for him personally, for he never entered the land, but died before Israel went into it; but for the chief ruler that would be then in being, namely, Joshua, his successor:
to everyone shall his inheritance be given, according to those that were numbered of him; that is, to every tribe, and so to every family in it, according to the number of men in it, that were of the above age when the sum of them was taken: because it is in the original text, "to a man according to those numbered of him", c. q hence the Jewish writers r gather, that the land was distributed not to women, but to men only.
