Numbers 33:50-56

Drive Out the Inhabitants

50And the Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, 51Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, aWhen you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 52then byou shall drive out call the inhabitants of the land from before you and destroy all their dfigured stones and destroy all their metal images and demolish all their high places. 53And you shall take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it. 54 eYou shall inherit the land by lot according to your clans. fTo a large tribe you shall give a large inheritance, and to a small tribe you shall give a small inheritance. Wherever the lot falls for anyone, that shall be his. According to the tribes of your fathers you shall inherit. 55But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those of them whom you let remain shall be as gbarbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall trouble you in the land where you dwell. 56And I will do to you has I thought to do to them.”
