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 You shall apportion the land by lot according to your clans; to a large one you shall give a large inheritance, and to a small one you shall give a small inheritance; the inheritance shall belong to the person on whom the lot falls; according to your ancestral tribes you shall inherit.

55 But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those whom you let remain shall be as barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides; they shall trouble you in the land where you are settling.

56 And I will do to you as I thought to do to them.
