51“Give the following instructions to the people of Israel: When you cross the Jordan River into the land of Canaan, | 51"Tell the Israelis that when they have crossed the Jordan River to the land of Canaan, |
52you must drive out all the people living there. You must destroy all their carved and molten images and demolish all their pagan shrines. | 52they are to drive out all the inhabitants of the land and destroy all their idols and their molten images. You are to demolish all their high places, |
53Take possession of the land and settle in it, because I have given it to you to occupy. | 53take possession of the land, and live in it, because I've given you the land to inherit. |
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. | 54You are to divide the land among yourselves by lot according to your families. The larger the families are in number, the larger their inheritance is to be. The fewer the families are in number, the lesser their inheritance is to be. To whomever the lot falls, that inheritance goes to him. Divide it according to your ancestral tribes. |
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. | 55But if you fail to drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, their survivors will become irritants in your eyes and thorns in your sides, to prick your sides and afflict you in the very land in which you'll be living. |
56And I will do to you what I had planned to do to them.” | 56Then, what I had planned to do to them, I'll start to do to you." |
