50 And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho, saying, 51 Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When ye have passed the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 52 then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you and abolish all their paintings and abolish all their molten images and destroy all their high places, 53 and ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land and dwell therein; for I have given you the land to inherit it. 54 And ye shall inherit the land by lots by your families, and to those with the most ye shall give more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give less inheritance, each one’s inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falls; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit. 55 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall come to pass that those whom ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes and thorns in your sides and shall afflict you in the land in which ye dwell. 56 Moreover it shall come to pass that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.
