52drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you. Destroy all their carved images and their cast idols, and demolish all 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. |
53Take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess. | 53Take possession of the land and settle in it, because I have given it to you to occupy. |
54Distribute the land by lot, according to your clans. To a larger group give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group a smaller one. Whatever falls to them by lot will be theirs. Distribute it 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. |
55"'But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will give you trouble in the land where you will live. | 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 then I will do to you what I plan to do to them.'" | 56And I will do to you what I had planned to do to them.” |
