Instructions for Occupying Canaan
Verse 50On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, the LORD said to Moses,Verse 51“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,Verse 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.Verse 53You are to take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess.Verse 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.Verse 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.Verse 56And then I will do to you what I had planned to do to them.”
