Instructions for Occupying Canaan

50
Where the Lord said to Moses:
51
Command the children of Israel, and say to them: When you shall have passed over the Jordan, entering into the land of Chanaan,
52
Destroy all the inhabitants of that land: beat down their pillars, and break in pieces their statues, and waste all their high places,
53
Cleansing the land, and dwelling in it. For I have given it you for a possession.
54
And you shall divide it among you by lot. To the more you shall give a larger part, and to the fewer a lesser. To every one as the lot shall fall, so shall the inheritance be given. The possession shall be divided by the tribes and the families.
55
But if you will not kill the inhabitants of the land: they that remain, shall be unto you as nails in your eyes, and spears in your sides, and they shall be your adversaries in the land of your habitation.
56
And whatsoever I had thought to do to them, I will do to you.

Instructions for Occupying Canaan

50
The LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,
51
Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, “When you pass over the 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.
53
You shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein; for I have given the land to you to possess it.
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.
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.
56
It shall happen that as I thought to do to them, so I will do to you.”
