51 Command the children of Israel, and say to them: When you shall have passed over the Jordan, entering into the land of Chanaan,
“Tell the Israelites, ‘Once you cross the Jordan and enter the country of Canaan,
52 Destroy all the inhabitants of that land: beat down their pillars, and break in pieces their statues, and waste all their high places,
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 Cleansing the land, and dwelling in it. For I have given it you for a possession.
You are to take over the country and settle there, because I have given you the land and it belongs to you.
54 And you shall divide it among you by lot. To the more you shall give a larger part, and to the fewer a lesser. To every one as the lot shall fall, so shall the inheritance be given. The possession shall be divided by the tribes and the families.
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 you will not kill the inhabitants of the land: they that remain, shall be unto you as nails in your eyes, and spears in your sides, and they shall be your adversaries in the land of your habitation.
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 whatsoever I had thought to do to them, I will do to you.
Eventually the punishment I planned for them I will inflict on you.”
