51 “Tell the Israelites, ‘Once you cross the Jordan and enter the country of Canaan,
Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, “When you 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 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.
53 You are to take over the country and settle there, because I have given you the land and it belongs to you.
You shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein; for I have given the land to you 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.
You shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the larger groups you shall give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give a smaller inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to any man, that shall be his. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers.
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 you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those you let remain of them will be like pricks in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will harass you in the land in which you dwell.
56 Eventually the punishment I planned for them I will inflict on you.”
It shall happen that as I thought to do to them, so I will do to you.”
