Instructions for Occupying Canaan

50
Yahweh spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho and said,
51
“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, ’When you cross over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
52
then you must drive out all the land’s inhabitants before you. You must destroy all their carved figures. You must destroy all their cast figures and demolish all their high places.
53
You must take possession of the land and settle in it, because I have given you the land to possess.
54
You must inherit the land by lot, according to each clan. To the larger clans you must give a larger share of land, and to the smaller clans you must give a smaller share of land. Wherever the lot falls to each clan, that land will belong to it. You will inherit the land according to your ancestors’ tribes.
55
But if you do not drive out the land’s inhabitants before you, then the people you allow to stay will become like objects in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will make your lives difficult in the land where you settle.
56
Then it will happen that what I now intend to do to those people, I will do also 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.”
