52
then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and 31destroyall their figuredstones, and destroyall their moltenimages and demolishall their highplaces;
53
32and you shall takepossession of the land and live in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it.
54
'33You shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the larger you shall givemoreinheritance, and to the smaller you shall givelessinheritance. Wherever** the lotfalls to anyone, that shall be his. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers.
55
'But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall come about that those whom you letremain of them will become 34as pricks in your eyes and as thorns in your sides, and they will trouble you in the land in which you live.
