Instructions for Occupying Canaan

50The Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho,

51‘Tell the Israelites: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

52you must drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you, destroy all their stone images  and cast images,  and demolish all their high places.

53You are to take possession of the land and settle in it because I have given you the land  to possess.

54You are to receive the land as an inheritance by lot according to your clans. Increase the inheritance for a large clan and decrease it for a small one. Whatever place the lot indicates for someone will be his. You will receive an inheritance according to your ancestral tribes.

55But if you don’t drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, those you allow to remain will become barbs for your eyes and thorns for your sides; they will harass you in the land where you will live.

56And what I had planned to do to them, I will do to you.’
