Numbers 33:51 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 33:51

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them
What was to be said, being what concerned the whole body of the people:

when ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
near to which they now were, and Moses was about to leave them; and therefore it was the more necessary to give them some instructions and directions what they should do, when they were come into it.

51 "Say to the people of Israel, When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
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 and you shall take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it.
