Sforno on Numbers 26:56/ספורנו על במדבר כ״ו:נ״ו

אעַל פִּי הַגּוֹרָל תֵּחָלֵק נַחֲלָתוֹ. וְכֵן כְּשֶׁיִּהְיֶה הַשֵּׁבֶט מְחַלֵּק אֶת חֶלְקוֹ לְגֻלְגְּלוֹתָיו, יִתֵּן לְכָל אֶחָד חֶלְקוֹ עַל פִּי הַגּוֹרָל.
1על פי הגורל תחלק נחלתו, when it came to the actual distribution of the land, the result of the lottery confirmed what Joshua had announced as the fair share for each tribe. It was found that the tribes who numbered more people did indeed receive parcels that were larger than those who numbered fewer people.
