וְהִתְנַחַלְתֶּם֩ אֶת־הָאָ֨רֶץ בְּגוֹרָ֜ל לְמִשְׁפְּחֹֽתֵיכֶ֗ם לָרַ֞ב תַּרְבּ֤וּ אֶת־נַחֲלָתוֹ֙ וְלַמְעַט֙ תַּמְעִ֣יט אֶת־נַחֲלָת֔וֹ אֶל֩ אֲשֶׁר־יֵ֨צֵא ל֥וֹ שָׁ֛מָּה הַגּוֹרָ֖ל ל֣וֹ יִהְיֶ֑ה לְמַטּ֥וֹת אֲבֹתֵיכֶ֖ם תִּתְנֶחָֽלוּ׃
Hahatiin ninyo ang lupain bilang mana sa pamamagitan ng palabunutan ayon sa inyong mga angkan: sa marami ay palalakihin ninyo ang kanyang mana, at sa kaunti ay paliliitin mo ang kanyang mana; kung saan mapunta ang palabunutan para sa kanya, iyon ay magiging kanya; ayon sa mga lipi ng inyong mga ninuno kayo magmamana.

אל אשר יצא לו שמה — This is an elliptical verse, the meaning being, the place where the lot falleth to anyone, that shall be his.
Kli Yakar
And you shall inherit the land by lot. In this verse, the commentators had great difficulty, noting that the beginning of the passage speaks about destroying the nations and their molten images, and similarly the end of the passage states But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land, etc. How then does the verse And you shall inherit the land fit between these connected matters? I say there is no difficulty at all because in the destruction of images and high places and the expulsion of all the nations, God imposed a great task upon Israel, and there are two concerns to worry about: First, that it would become like “a pot belonging to partners” [where responsibility is diffused] and this commandment would be neglected because each person would say, “The commandment of elimination can be fulfilled by others.” Second, that it would cause conflict among the tribes because each one would choose the lesser evil — a place where there aren’t many images and idols. Therefore, He inserted within this matter the verse And you shall inherit the land by lot, because this eliminates all these concerns.

Taking into account those who came out of Egypt. Here Rashi does not explain as he did in Parshas Pinchas (26:53), for there his explanation implied that they divided [the land] according to those who entered the land and had reached twenty years of age. There is a dispute in Bava Basra 117a, and one opinion is that [the words] “The land shall be apportioned among these…” (26:53) refers to those who entered the land, and there he explained in accordance with that opinion. However, here Rashi explains in accordance with the opinion that [the words] “The land shall be apportioned among these” refers to those who came out of Egypt. [Alternatively] it is possible to give a forced answer that this is in accordance with the explanation above (26:55) that “This inheritance is different [from all others…]”

למטות אבותיכם ACCORDING TO THE TRIBES OF YOUR FATHERS [YE SHALL DIVIDE INHERITANCE] — i.e., according to the number of those who came out of Egypt (Bava Batra 117a; cf. Rashi on Numbers 26:55). Another explanation: ye shall divide it into twelve districts, as is the number of the tribes.
