| 52then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you and destroy all their figured stones and destroy all their metal images and demolish all their high places. | 52they are to drive out all the inhabitants of the land and destroy all their idols and their molten images. You are to demolish all their high places, |
| 53And you shall take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it. | 53take possession of the land, and live in it, because I've given you the land to inherit. |
| 54You shall inherit the land by lot according to your clans. To a large tribe you shall give a large inheritance, and to a small tribe you shall give a small inheritance. Wherever the lot falls for anyone, that shall be his. According to the tribes of your fathers you shall inherit. | 54You are to divide the land among yourselves by lot according to your families. The larger the families are in number, the larger their inheritance is to be. The fewer the families are in number, the lesser their inheritance is to be. To whomever the lot falls, that inheritance goes to him. Divide it according to your ancestral tribes. |
| 55But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those of them whom you let remain shall be as barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall trouble you in the land where you dwell. | 55But if you fail to drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, their survivors will become irritants in your eyes and thorns in your sides, to prick your sides and afflict you in the very land in which you'll be living. |
| 56And I will do to you as I thought to do to them.” | 56Then, what I had planned to do to them, I'll start to do to you." |
