Where the Lord said to Moses:
51 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
Command the children of Israel, and say to them: When you shall have passed over the Jordan, entering into the land of Chanaan,
52 you must drive out before you all the inhabitants of the land, destroy all their carved images and cast idols, and demolish all their high places.
Destroy all the inhabitants of that land: beat down their pillars, and break in pieces their statues, and waste all their high places,
53 You are to take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess.
Cleansing the land, and dwelling in it. For I have given it you for a possession.
54 And you are to divide the land by lot according to your clans. Give a larger inheritance to a larger clan and a smaller inheritance to a smaller one. Whatever falls to each one by lot will be his. You will receive an inheritance according to the tribes of your fathers.
And you shall divide it among you by lot. To the more you shall give a larger part, and to the fewer a lesser. To every one as the lot shall fall, so shall the inheritance be given. The possession shall be divided by the tribes and the families.
55 But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides; they will harass you in the land where you settle.
But if you will not kill the inhabitants of the land: they that remain, shall be unto you as nails in your eyes, and spears in your sides, and they shall be your adversaries in the land of your habitation.
56 And then I will do to you what I had planned to do to them.”
And whatsoever I had thought to do to them, I will do to you.
