Instructions for Occupying Canaan

⁵⁰On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, the LORD said to Moses,

⁵⁰And YHWH spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, saying,

⁵¹“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

⁵¹“Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them: When you have crossed the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

⁵²you must drive out before you all the inhabitants of the land, destroy all their carved images and cast idols, and demolish all their high places.

⁵²you shall drive out all those dwelling in the land from before you and destroy all their carved figures, and all their molten images you shall destroy, and all their high places you shall demolish.

⁵³You are to take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess.

⁵³And you shall possess the land and dwell in it. For to you I have given the land to possess.

⁵⁴And you are to divide the land by lot according to your clans. Give a larger inheritance to a larger clan and a smaller inheritance to a smaller one. Whatever falls to each one by lot will be his. You will receive an inheritance according to the tribes of your fathers.

⁵⁴And you shall inherit for yourselves the land by lot among your clans. To the larger you shall give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give a smaller inheritance. To where there the lot goes out to each one, it shall be unto him. According to the tribes of your fathers you shall inherit.

⁵⁵But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides; they will harass you in the land where you settle.

⁵⁵But if you do not drive out those dwelling in the land from before you, it shall be that you leave are irritants in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land in which you dwell.

⁵⁶And then I will do to you what I had planned to do to them.”

⁵⁶And it will come to pass that as I thought to do to them, I will do to you.”
