51 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, “When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

Say to the children of Israel, When you go over Jordan into the land 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.

See that all the people of the land are forced out from before you, and put to destruction all their pictured stones, and all their metal images, and all their high places:

53 You shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein; for I have given the land to you to possess it.

And take the land for yourselves, for your resting-place: for to you I have given the land as your heritage.

54 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.

And you will take up your heritage in the land by the decision of the Lord, to every family its part; the greater the family the greater its heritage, and the smaller the family the smaller will be its heritage; wherever the decision of the Lord gives to any man his part, that will be his; distribution will be made to you by your fathers' tribes.

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 like pricks in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will harass you in the land in which you dwell.

But if you are slow in driving out the people of the land, then those of them who are still there will be like pin-points in your eyes and like thorns in your sides, troubling you in the land where you are living.

56 It shall happen that as I thought to do to them, so I will do to you.”

And it will come about that as it was my purpose to do to them, so I will do to you.
