51 Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, and say unto them, When ye are crossing over Yarden into Eretz Kena’an,

52 Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of HaAretz from before you, and destroy all their maskiyyot (stone carved statues), and destroy all their tzalmei massekhot and demolish all their [idolatrous] high places;

53 And ye shall take possession of HaAretz, and dwell therein; for I have given you HaAretz to possess it.

54 And ye shall distribute HaAretz by goral for an inheritance among your mishpekhot; and to the more numerous ye shall give the larger nachalah, and to the fewer in number ye shall give the smaller nachalah; every man’s nachalah shall be in the place where his goral falleth; according to the mattot (tribes of) Avoteichem ye shall inherit.

55 But if ye will not drive out the yoshvei HaAretz from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be barbs in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall harrass you in HaAretz wherein ye dwell.

56 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I meant to do unto them.
