Numbers 33:56

Moreover, it shall come to pass
This being the case, they suffering the Canaanites to dwell among them, and they mingling with them, learning their works, and serving their gods: that

Numbers 33:56 In-Context

54 "Divide up the land by lot according to the size of your clans: Large clans will get large tracts of land, small clans will get smaller tracts of land. However the lot falls, that's it. Divide it up according to your ancestral tribes.

55 "But if you don't drive out the native population, everyone you let stay there will become a cinder in your eye and a splinter in your foot. They'll give you endless trouble right in your own backyards.

56 And I'll start treating you the way I planned to treat them."
