I hope you find this meaningful... _______________________________________________ G-d instructs Moshe to divide the land among the tribes “…by lottery shall the land be divided, according to the names of their fathers’ tribes they shall inherit” (26:55). If the tribes are to inherit the land, why does the Torah add the extra word “names” to make it sound like the names are inheriting the land rather than the people? Rav Hirsch explains that the people’s perseverance through the many challenges they faced to inherit the land provides a testament and honor to their ancestors’ names and legacies. When we make the right decisions or act with integrity, it not only helps us but also honors the names and memories of those who came before us.
