Instructions for Occupying Canaan

⁵⁰Yahweh spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,
  ⁵¹“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
  ⁵²then you must drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, destroy all their stone idols, destroy all their cast metal images and demolish all their shrines.
  ⁵³You are to take possession of the land and dwell in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it.
  ⁵⁴You are to inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the more you are to give the more inheritance, and to the fewer you are to give the less inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to any man, that will be his. You will inherit according to the tribes of your fathers.
  ⁵⁵But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those you let remain of them will be as barbs in your eyes and as thorns in your sides, and they will harass you in the land in that you dwell.
  ⁵⁶It will happen that as I thought to do to them, so I will do to you.‘”
