52 t hen you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, destroy all their stone idols, destroy all their molten images, and demolish 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 Y ou shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein; for I have given the land to you to possess it.

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

54 Y ou 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. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers.

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.

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 I t shall happen that as I thought to do to them, so will I do to you.”

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