“Say to the people of Israel, ‘You will cross over the Jordan into the land of Canaan.

52 t hen ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you and abolish all their paintings and abolish all their molten images and destroy all their high places,

Then drive out all the people living in the land in front of you. Destroy all their cut stones, and all their man-made gods, and all their high places.

53 a nd ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land and dwell therein; for I have given you the land to inherit it.

Take the land for your own and live in it. For I have given the land to you.

54 A nd ye shall inherit the land by lots by your families, and to those with the most ye shall give more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give less inheritance, each one’s inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falls; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.

Your families will receive land by drawing names. The larger families should be given more land. The smaller families should be given less land. When a man’s name is drawn, that land will be his. You will receive land by the family groups of your fathers.

55 B ut if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall come to pass that those whom ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes and thorns in your sides and shall afflict you in the land in which ye dwell.

Drive out the people who live in the land in front of you. If you do not, then those who are allowed to stay will be like sharp pieces in your eyes and like thorns in your sides. They will trouble you in the land where you live.

56 M oreover it shall come to pass that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.

And I will do to you as I thought to do to them.’”
