| 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, | 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. |
| 53take possession of the land, and live in it, because I've given you the land to inherit. | 53You are to take possession of the land and settle in it because I have given you the land to possess. |

Divide it according to your ancestral tribes. | 54You are to receive the land as an inheritance by lot according to your clans.
