51 “Tell the Israelites, ‘Once you cross the Jordan and enter the country of Canaan,
“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, 'When you cross over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
52 you must drive out everyone living in the land, destroy all their carved images and metal idols, and tear down all their pagan temples.
then you must drive out all the land's inhabitants before you. You must destroy all their carved figures. You must destroy all their cast figures and demolish all their high places.
53 You are to take over the country and settle there, because I have given you the land and it belongs to you.
You must take possession of the land and settle in it, because I have given you the land to possess.
54 You are to divide the land and allocate it by lot to the different tribal families. Give a larger portion to a larger family, and a smaller portion to a smaller family. Each one's allocation is decided by lot, and you will all receive an allocation depending on your tribe.
You must inherit the land by lot, according to each clan. To the larger clans you must give a larger share of land, and to the smaller clans you must give a smaller share of land. Wherever the lot falls to each clan, that land will belong to it. You will inherit the land according to your ancestors' tribes.
55 But if you don't drive out everyone living in the land, the people you allow to remain will be like grit in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will cause you trouble where you settle in the country.
But if you do not drive out the land's inhabitants before you, then the people you allow to stay will become like objects in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will make your lives difficult in the land where you settle.
56 Eventually the punishment I planned for them I will inflict on you.”
Then it will happen that what I now intend to do to those people, I will do also to you.'”
