| 52then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, destroy all their engraved stones, destroy all their molded images, and demolish 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. |
| 53you shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land and dwell in it, for I have given you the land to possess. | 53Take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess. |
| 54And you shall divide the land by lot as an inheritance among your families; to the larger you shall give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give a smaller inheritance; there everyone’s inheritance shall be whatever falls to him by lot. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers. | 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 you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall be that those whom you let remain shall be irritants in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land where you 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 be that I will do to you as I thought to do to them.’ ” | 56And then I will do to you what I plan to do to them.'" |
