Numbers 33:56 Meaning and Commentary

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

I shall do unto you as I thought I should do unto them;
deliver them up into the hands of their enemies, who should carry them captive into other lands.

Numbers 33:56 In-Context

54 Throw lots to divide up the land by family groups, giving larger portions to larger family groups and smaller portions to smaller family groups. The land will be given as the lots decide; each tribe will get its own land.

55 "'But if you don't force those people out of the land, they will bring you trouble. They will be like sharp hooks in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will bring trouble to the land where you live.

56 Then I will punish you as I had planned to punish them.'"
