51
Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
52 you must drive out all the inhabitants of the land. Destroy all their stone and metal idols and all their places of worship.
52
then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figured [stones], and destroy all their molten images, and demolish all their high places:
53 Occupy the land and settle in it, because I am giving it to you.
53
and you shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein; for to you have I given the land to possess it.
54 Divide the land among the various tribes and clans by drawing lots, giving a large piece of property to a large clan and a small one to a small clan.
54
You shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the more you shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer you shall give the less inheritance: wherever the lot falls to any man, that shall be his; according to the tribes of your fathers shall you inherit.
55 But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land, those that are left will be as troublesome as splinters in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they will fight against you.
55
But if you will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then shall those who you let remain of them be as pricks in your eyes, and as thorns in your sides, and they shall vex you in the land in which you dwell.
56 If you do not drive them out, I will destroy you, as I planned to destroy them."
56
It shall happen that as I thought to do to them, so will I do to you.
