50. While Israel was camped in the lowlands of Moab across the River Jordan from Jericho, the Lord told Moses
51. to give the people of Israel this message:When you cross the River Jordan and enter Canaan,
52. you must force out the people living there. Destroy their idols and tear down their altars.
53. Then settle in the land—I have given it to you as your own.
54. I will show you how to divide the land among the tribes, according to the number of clans in each one, so that the larger tribes will have more land than the smaller ones.
55. If you don't force out all the people there, they will be like pointed sticks in your eyes and thorns in your back. They will always be trouble for you,
56. and I will treat you as cruelly as I planned to treat them.
