51 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, "When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
“Tell the Israelites, ‘Once you cross the Jordan and enter the country of Canaan,
52 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.
you must drive out everyone living in the land, destroy all their carved images and metal idols, and tear down all their pagan temples.
53 You shall take possession of the land, and dwell in it; for I have given the land to you to possess it.
You are to take over the country and settle there, because I have given you the land and it belongs to you.
54 You 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.
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.
55 "But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those you let remain of them will be as pricks in your eyes and as thorns in your sides, and they will harass you in the land in which you dwell.
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.
56 It shall happen that as I thought to do to them, so will I do to you."
Eventually the punishment I planned for them I will inflict on you.”
