51. “Speak to the Israelites and tell them this: You will cross the Jordan River. You will go into the land of Canaan.
52. You will take the land from the people you find there. You must destroy all of their carved statues and idols. You must destroy all of their high places.
53. You will take the land and you will settle there, because I am giving this land to you. It will belong to your family groups.
54. Each of your family groups will get part of the land. You will throw lots to decide which family group gets each part of the country. Large family groups will get large parts of the land. Small family groups will get small parts of the land. The lots will show which family group gets which part of the land. Each tribe will get its part of the land.
55. “You must force these other people to leave the country. If you let them stay in your country, they will bring many troubles to you. They will be like a needle in your eye and a thorn in your side. They will bring many troubles to the country where you will be living.
56. I showed you what I would do—and I will do that to you!”
