52 Drive out all those who are living in the land. The statues of their gods are made out of stone and metal. Destroy all of those statues. And destroy all of the high places where they are worshiped.
52
drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you. Destroy all their carved images and their cast idols, and demolish all their high places.
53 " 'Take the land as your own. Settle down in it. I have given it to you.
53
Take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess.
54 Use lots when you give out the land. Do it based on the number of men who are in each tribe and family. Give a larger share to a larger group. And give a smaller group a smaller share. The share they receive by using lots will belong to them. Give out the shares based on the number of men in Israel's tribes.

Distribute the land by lot, according to your clans. To a larger group give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group a smaller one. Whatever falls to them by lot will be theirs. Distribute it according to your ancestral tribes.

“ ‘But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will give you trouble in the land where you will live.
56 Then I will do to you what I plan to do to them.' "

And then I will do to you what I plan to do to them.’ ”
