Increase the inheritance for a large tribe and decrease it for a small one; each tribe is to receive its inheritance according to the number of those registered.
55 Hwɛ sɛ wɔnam ntontobɔ so bɛkyekyɛ asase no. Nea ɛsɛ sɛ kuw biara nya no begyina nʼagyanom abusuakuw din dodow so.

For the LORD had told them that they would surely die in the wilderness. Not one was left except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
