In Parashat Pinchas, the posuk says: "Only through a lottery 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 lottery?
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.

Answer
Not only will our enemies be unable to settle the Land, but the Land herself will despise them.
