And the Lord spoke unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho, saying,

51 “Tell the Israelites, ‘Once you cross the Jordan and enter the country of Canaan,

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan:

52 you must drive out everyone living in the land, destroy all their carved images and metal idols, and tear down all their pagan temples.

Then shall ye drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and ye shall destroy all their statues, and all their molten images shall ye destroy, and devastate all their high places.

53 You are to take over the country and settle there, because I have given you the land and it belongs to you.

And ye shall drive out [the inhabitants of] the land, and ye shall dwell therein; for unto you have I given the land to possess it.

54 You are to divide the land and allocate it by lot to the different tribal families. Give a larger portion to a larger family, and a smaller portion to a smaller family. Each one's allocation is decided by lot, and you will all receive an allocation depending on your tribe.

And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families; to the numerous shall ye give the more inheritance, and to the small in number shall ye give the less inheritance: there, where the lot designateth it for him, shall every one's possessions be; according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye divide it among yourselves.

55 But if you don't drive out everyone living in the land, the people you allow to remain will be like grit in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will cause you trouble where you settle in the country.

But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you: then shall it come to pass, that those whom ye will let remain of them shall be as thorns in your eyes, and as stings in your sides, and they shall trouble you in the land wherein ye dwell.

56 Eventually the punishment I planned for them I will inflict on you.”

And it shall come to pass, that as I purposed to do unto them, will I do unto you.
