| 52Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places: | 52drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you. Destroy all their carved images and their cast idols, and demolish all their high places. |
| 53And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it. | 53Take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess. |
| 54And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit. | 54Distribute the land by lot, according to your clans. To a larger group give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group a smaller one. Whatever falls to them by lot will be theirs. Distribute it according to your ancestral tribes. |
| 55But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell. | 55"'But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will give you trouble in the land where you will live. |
| 56Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them. | 56And then I will do to you what I plan to do to them.'" |
