51 Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, —When ye do 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 shall ye dispossess all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and shall destroy all their figured stones, —all their molten images, also shall ye destroy, and all their high places, shall ye lay waste.
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 So shall ye possess the land, and settle down therein, —for unto you, have I given the land 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 And ye shall take your inheritance in the land by lot by your families—for the large one, ye shall make large his inheritance, and for the small one, make small his inheritance, whithersoever the lot cometh out to him, his, shall, it be, by the tribes of your fathers, shall ye take your inheritance.
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 ye do not dispossess the inhabitants of the land from before you, then shall it be. that they whom ye leave remaining of them will become pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and will harass you, concerning the land, wherein, ye are settling down.
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 And it shall be, that as I thought to do unto them, I will do unto you.
Eventually the punishment I planned for them I will inflict on you.”
