ציטירנדיקער פּירוש אויף במדבר 26:22

[REUBEN, THE FIRSTBORN OF ISRAEL: THE SONS OF REUBEN]: HANOCH, THE FAMILY OF THE HANOCHITES. Perhaps [the reason why the individual families of each tribe are mentioned here is that] when the Land was divided among the tribes [in equal parts] according to the opinion of our Rabbis,³²Baba Bathra 122a. See Vol. I, pp. 570-572. so that Simeon, the smallest of the tribes,³³The tribe of Simeon numbered 22,200 men (further, Verse 14). took [a share] equal to that of Judah, the most populous of the tribes,³⁴The tribe of Judah numbered 76,500 (Verse 22). it was also divided up [amongst each tribe itself] according to the number of families that went down to Egypt. Thus they made out of Reuben’s inheritance four [equal] parts [because it consisted of four main families: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi], and the Hanochites received a share equal to that allotted to the Palluites, the Hezronites, and the Carmites, even though these [four families] were not all equal in the number of names … by their polls³⁵Above, 1:18. This is the reason here for counting [the people] in this manner, [namely] by counting the family according to those who went down to Egypt, and it does not mention [here] by their polls, even though it mentions the numbers [of each tribe] as a whole. And when Scripture states [here]: To the more thou shalt give the more inheritance, [and to the fewer thou shalt give the less inheritance,³⁶Further, Verse 54. which seems to indicate that the Land was divided according to population,³⁷As is indeed Rashi’s opinion. See further, Verse 54, for a complete discussion. Ramban also touches briefly on this subject in Genesis 48:6 (Vol. I, pp. 571-572). it refers to the [division amongst the] members of each [small] family,³⁸Thus when, for example, the family-group of Hanochites received their quarter-share of Reuben’s overall inheritance, they further subdivided it amongst their members according to the number of individuals in each family. However, they themselves received a share — [one quarter] — of the total inheritance of Reuben, equal to that received by the three other main families of Reuben, despite differences in their respective populations. Likewise each of the twelve tribes, whether large in population, like Judah, or small like Simeon, received an equal share of the whole Land [that is, equal in value, although not in area] (Baba Bathra 122a). for each [of these minor families] received a share according to their numbers by their polls.³⁵Above, 1:18. It is for this reason that in the Book of Joshua [when speaking of] the division of the Land, it says according to their families, as is stated in the verse, And the lot for the tribe of the children of Judah ‘according to their families,’³⁹Joshua 15:1. and similarly in the case of all the other [tribes]. Or the meaning of [the phrase there] according to their families may be: “to ‘all’ the families of the tribe” [meaning that each minor family of each tribe was taken into account, according to the numbers of its individual members, as explained above]; or that they divided the Land according to their families, so that each family received its share in one place, so that it did not become mixed up with [that of] another family. This [latter interpretation] appears to me to be the correct one.

I will now give you an explanation of a general nature:
Remember that the Tabernacle was 30 cubits long and 10 cubits wide. Its height was also 10 cubits. We know that it was 30 cubits long as in connection with the upright beams, קרשים, which formed the walls, the Torah wrote that 20 such beams be constructed for the wall for the south side (verse 18). Each beam was 11/2 cubits wide (verse 16) and its height was 10 cubits (verse 16). There were 20 such beams for the north wall and 20 for the south wall. The combined width of these 20 beams was 30 cubits, giving the Tabernacle an overall length of 30 cubits. We know that the Tabernacle’s width was 10 cubits as the Torah writes (verse 22) that for the back of the Tabernacle 6 beams were to be constructed. Add to this the fact that the Torah describes the western wall as comprising 8 beams (verse 25), plus the fact that two beams had been constructed to form the corners (verse 23) and you know that the two corner beams were positioned so that their width was facing west whereas their thickness was facing north and south respectively making the outside width of the Tabernacle 12 cubits. In other words, the inside measurement of the Tabernacle was 30 by 10, whereas the outside measurement was 31 by 12 cubits.
Onkelos translates the word ולירכתי, in verse 22 as ולסיפי, “and for the end of.” The reason he does so is that the western wall is the “end” of a process which began in the east, with the pillars and the curtain at the entrance to the Tabernacle. There were no beams at the eastern end of the Tabernacle. The five pillars which supported the מסך, “screening curtain,” formed the entrance to the Tabernacle on the eastern side (compare verse 36).

לאמור לנו המים, saying: “the water is ours.” They argued that the water from the well had originally been flowing in the river that was theirs. They used the same argument with the second well Yitzchok’s servants brought in. When Yitzchok moved away further and again succeeded in bringing in a well, they did not argue about it [they finally realised that it was he who was blessed, and that he had not robbed them of anything (verse 22)].
