And they encamped by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth unto Abel-Shittim, in the plains of Moab.
50
And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho, saying,
51
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over Jordan into the land of Canaan,
52
then ye shall dispossess all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and ye shall destroy all their figured images, and all their molten images shall ye destroy, and all their high places shall ye lay waste;
53
and ye shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein, for to you have I given the land to possess it.
54
And ye shall take for yourselves the land as an inheritance by lot according to your families: to the many ye shall increase their inheritance, and to the few thou shalt diminish their inheritance: where the lot falleth to him, there shall be each man's [inheritance]; according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye take for yourselves the inheritance.
55
But if ye will not dispossess the inhabitants of the land from before you, those that ye let remain of them shall be thorns in your eyes, and pricks in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land wherein ye dwell.
56
And it shall come to pass that I will do unto you as I thought to do unto them.
