Context of Numbers 33:56

54You must use lots to choose how to give part of the land to each family. You must give more land to the larger clans and you must give less land to the smaller clans. The lots will decide which piece of land belongs to each family. Each of your ancestors' tribes will get its own part of the land. 55If any Canaanites remain in the land, they will bring trouble and pain to the Israelites. So you must chase them all away. If you do not do that, I will punish you in the way that I wanted to punish them.” ’
