| 52you must drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you. Destroy all their carved images, all their molten images, and demolish their high places. | 52you must drive out all the people living there. You must destroy all their carved and molten images and demolish all their pagan shrines. |
| 53You must dispossess the inhabitants of the land and live in it, for I have given you the land to possess it. | 53Take possession of the land and settle in it, because I have given it to you to occupy. |
| 54You must divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families. To a larger group you must give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group you must give a smaller inheritance. Everyone's inheritance must be in the place where his lot falls. You must inherit according to your ancestral tribes. | 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. |
| 55But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, then those whom you allow to remain will be irritants in your eyes and thorns in your side, and will cause you trouble in the land where you will be living. | 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. |
| 56And what I intended to do to them I will do to you." | 56And I will do to you what I had planned to do to them.” |
