The fifth lot
In the context of the division of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel, the casting of lots was a method used to discern God's will. The Hebrew word for "lot" is "goral," which signifies a portion or destiny. This practice underscores the belief in divine sovereignty, where God is seen as actively guiding the distribution of the land. The "fifth lot" indicates the order in which the tribes received their inheritance, emphasizing the structured and orderly manner in which God fulfills His promises to His people.

came out
The phrase "came out" suggests an unfolding or revelation of God's plan. In Hebrew, the verb "yatsa" conveys the idea of going forth or emerging. This reflects the dynamic nature of God's will being revealed to the Israelites. It is a reminder that God's plans are not static but are progressively unveiled in His perfect timing.

for the clans
The term "clans" refers to the subdivisions within the tribe, known in Hebrew as "mishpachot." This highlights the communal and familial structure of ancient Israelite society. Each clan within a tribe had its own identity and role, and the allocation of land to clans underscores the importance of family and community in God's covenantal promises.

of the tribe of Asher
Asher, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, was named after the eighth son of Jacob and Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. The name "Asher" means "happy" or "blessed" in Hebrew, reflecting the tribe's anticipated prosperity and favor. Historically, the tribe of Asher was located in the fertile region of the western Galilee, known for its olive oil production. This allocation of land to Asher fulfills Jacob's blessing in Genesis 49:20, where Asher is promised rich food and royal delicacies, symbolizing abundance and divine blessing.

(24) The fifth lot . . . for . . . Asher . . . (and Joshua 19:32) the sixth . . . for . . . Naphtali.--Asher and Naphtali had been associated with Dan in the exodus, and with him had encamped on the north side of the tabernacle, and had brought up the rear. These two, each dissociated from his own brother (viz., Asher from Gad and Naphtali from Dan), are paired together in their inheritance in Palestine (comp. Naphtali and Manasseh in Revelation 7, and see Names on the Gates of Pearl, pp. 199, 200). The tribe of Asher was more akin to the house of Judah, for Zilpah, the mother of Asher, was Leah's handmaid; and the tribe of to the house of Joseph, for Bilhah, Naphtali's mother, was Rachel's handmaid. But in all cases the lot of the inheritance of the tribe seems to have fallen in such a way as to favour the construction of a united Israel--a Dodecaphulon, to use St. Paul's word--an organised body of twelve tribes.
