“Tell this to the Israeli people: When you cross the Jordan [River] and enter the Canaan [region],

52 disperdite cunctos habitatores terræ illius: confringite titulos, et statuas comminuite, atque omnia excelsa vastate,

you must force all the people who live there to leave. Destroy all their carved statues and all their idols made of metal. Wreck all the places where they worship [their idols].

53 mundantes terram, et habitantes in ea. Ego enim dedi vobis illam in possessionem,

Take their land from them and start to live there, because I have given their land to you for you to own.

54 quam dividetis vobis sorte. Pluribus dabitis latiorem, et paucis angustiorem. Singulis ut sors ceciderit, ita tribuetur hæreditas. Per tribus et familias possessio dividetur.

“Divide up the land by throwing (lots/small stones which have been marked) [to decide which group will get which area]. Give the larger areas to the groups that have more people, and give the smaller areas to the groups that have fewer people. Each tribe will receive its own land.

55 Sin autem nolueritis interficere habitatores terræ: qui remanserint, erunt vobis quasi clavi in oculis, et lanceæ in lateribus, et adversabuntur vobis in terra habitationis vestræ:

If you do not force the people who live there to leave, they will cause you to have much trouble. They will be like sharp hooks in your eyes, and like thorns in your sides. And they will bring trouble to you, in that land where you will be living.

56 et quidquid illis cogitaveram facere, vobis faciam.

And then I will punish you, as I had planned to punish them.”
