This was where, on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan opposite Jericho, that the Lord told Moses,
51 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over Jordan into the land of Canaan,
“Tell the Israelites, ‘Once you cross the Jordan and enter the country of Canaan,
52 then ye shall dispossess all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and ye shall destroy all their figured images, and all their molten images shall ye destroy, and all their high places shall ye lay waste;
you must drive out everyone living in the land, destroy all their carved images and metal idols, and tear down all their pagan temples.
53 and ye shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein, for to you have I given the land to possess it.
You are to take over the country and settle there, because I have given you the land and it belongs to you.
54 And ye shall take for yourselves the land as an inheritance by lot according to your families: to the many ye shall increase their inheritance, and to the few thou shalt diminish their inheritance: where the lot falleth to him, there shall be each man's [inheritance]; according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye take for yourselves the inheritance.
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.
55 But if ye will not dispossess the inhabitants of the land from before you, those that ye let remain of them shall be thorns in your eyes, and pricks in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land wherein ye dwell.
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.
56 And it shall come to pass that I will do unto you as I thought to do unto them.
Eventually the punishment I planned for them I will inflict on you.”
