All the Israelites and their land

In Numbers, chapter 26:51-56, the census of the twelve tribes came to an end.  The number of Israelite people “enrolled” decreased from the first census to this census by merely 1,470, 601,730 from 603,500, a small change.  Yahweh told Moses that the large tribes should get a larger inheritance, than the smaller tribes.  This should be done by lot or chance, but the large ones would be in one category and the small ones in another category.  Thus, the census served a purpose as they prepared to enter the Promise Land.  How would you allot the land to these various clans or tribes?
