Numbers26:55
55 Notwithstanding, the land shall be divided by lot : according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.
Which lots seem to have been cast onely for the tribes, not as some would have it, for the several families for the distribution of it to them was left to the rulers wisdom according to the rule now given ver. 54. Yet, if any lot was too large for the Tribe, they might give up part of their right to others, with the Rulers consent, as Iudah gave a share to Simeon and to Dan within his lot.
(i. e.) The Lots shall go under the names of each tribe or each Patriarch.
