52 destroy all the inhabitants of that land. Break their monuments, and shatter their statues, and lay waste to every exalted thing,52 drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you; destroy all their stone figures and molten images, and demolish all their high places.
53 cleansing the land and living in it. For I have given it you as a possession,53 "You shall take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land as your property.
54 which you shall divide among you by lot. To the greater number you shall give more, and to the lesser number, less. To each one, just as the lot shall fall, so shall the inheritance be distributed. The possession shall be divided by the tribes and families.54 You shall apportion the land among yourselves by lot, clan by clan, assigning a large heritage to a large group and a small heritage to a small group. Wherever anyone's lot falls, there shall his property be within the heritage of his ancestral tribe.
55 But if you are not willing to put to death the inhabitants of the land, those who remain shall be to you like spikes in your eyes and lances in your sides, and they shall be adversaries to you in the land of your habitation.55 "But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, those whom you allow to remain will become as barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they will harass you in the country where you live,
56 And whatever I had decided to do to them, I will do to you.”56 and I will treat you as I had intended to treat them."
