| 51“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you have crossed the Jordan into the land of Canaan, | 51“Give the following instructions to the people of Israel: When you cross the Jordan River into the land of Canaan, |
| 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; | 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 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, because I have given it to you to occupy. |
| 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. | 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 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. | 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. |
| 56Moreover it shall be that I will do to you as I thought to do to them.’ ” | 56And I will do to you what I had planned to do to them.” |
