Parashat Pinchas
Presented By: Rav Mordechai Gershon

Written by: Shilo Hagar

In Parashat Pinchas, the posuk says: "Only through a lot shall the Land be divided ... according to the names of their fathers' tribes."

Question
Why did the Torah require the division of the Land of Israel to be done specifically by a lot?

Answer
God, who created the world, recognized which tribe is a match for a given portion of the Land. The tribal division by lottery indicates that this essential connection is God given and above human understanding.

The Land’s destruction and desolation achieves atonement for Am Yisrael's sins.
