R. Yonasan: The land was divided amongst those who entered it, as the pasuk states (ibid), "To these (will the land) be divided". (Note: The Gilyon Efraim and others changed the text here, as indicated.)

אם כן מה תלמוד לומר לשמות מטות אבותיו

1.

If so, what is taught by the words (pasuk 55), "according to the names of their fathers' tribes"?

This inheritance is different from others, because in all others, the living inherit the dead, and here, the dead inherit the living.
