| 51“Give the following instructions to the people of Israel: When you cross the Jordan River into the land of Canaan, | 51"Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When you cross over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, |
| 52you must drive out all the people living there. You must destroy all their carved and molten images and demolish all their pagan shrines. | 52then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figured stones, and destroy all their molten images and demolish all their high places; |
| 53Take possession of the land and settle in it, because I have given it to you to occupy. | 53and you shall take possession of the land and live in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it. |
| 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. | 54'You shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the larger you shall give more inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give less inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to anyone, that shall be his. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers. |
| 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. | 55But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall come about that those whom you let remain of them will become as pricks in your eyes and as thorns in your sides, and they will trouble you in the land in which you live. |
| 56And I will do to you what I had planned to do to them.” | 56'And as I plan to do to them, so I will do to you.'" |
