Talmud su Sanhedrin 6:3

It was stated similarly¹¹Babli Bava batra 122a.: The Land of Israel was distributed by two urns, one containing the lots, the other containing the names of the tribes. Two young priests¹²Literally: Flowers of the priesthood. were standing, what each of them brought up he won¹³They simultaneously drew lots before Eleazar the High Priest with Urim and Tummim, which paired territories with tribes.. By three ways the Land of Israel was divided up, by lots, and Urim and Tummim, and by payments. That is what is written¹⁴Misquote of Jos. 18:10. Joshua threw them lots before the Eternal at Mispeh. Lots, these are the lots. Before the Eternal, these are the Urim and Tummim. Between large and small¹⁵Num. 26:56., these are payments¹⁶The nature of these payments is nowhere spelled out. It seems that they were equalization payments so that the value of distributed land per head of the population would be approximately the same for all tribes; Sifry Num. 132; expanded quote in Yalqut Šimony Pinehas.#773.. Rebbi Abin said, unless the Holy One, praise to Him, made every place nice in the eyes of its inhabitants, the Land of Israel would never have been distributed. It was stated thus¹⁷Babli Soṭah 47a.: There are three graces. The grace of a woman in her husband’s eyes. The grace of a place in the eyes of its inhabitants. The grace of a buy in the eyes of its buyer. Rebbi Abba the son of Rebbi Pappaeus, Rebbi Joshua of Sikhnin in the name of Levi: Even in the future the Holy one, praise to Him, will do the same. That is what is written¹⁸Ez. 36:26., I shall give you a new heart, etc., and shall give you a heart of flesh, etc. He makes sour the part of others¹⁹Everybody will be satisfied with his part.
