| 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. | 52you must drive out all the people living there. You must destroy all their carved and molten images and demolish all their pagan shrines. |
| 53You are to take possession of the land and settle in it because I have given you the land to possess. | 53Take possession of the land and settle in it, because I have given it to you to occupy. |

You will receive an inheritance according to your ancestral tribes. | 54You must distribute the land among the clans by sacred lot and in proportion to their size. A larger portion of land will be allotted to each of the larger clans, and a smaller portion will be allotted to each of the smaller clans. The decision of the sacred lot is final. In this way, the portions of land will be divided among 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. | 55But if you fail to drive out the people who live in the land, those who remain will be like splinters in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will harass you in the land where you live. |
| 56And what I had planned to do to them, I will do to you." | 56And I will do to you what I had planned to do to them.” |
