(Numbers 33:50-56)
50 Now the LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by
the Jordan, across from Jericho, saying,
51 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to
them: 'When you have crossed the Jordan into the land of
Canaan,
52 'then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the
land from before you, destroy all their engraved stones,
destroy all their molded images, and demolish all their
high places;
53 'you shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land and
dwell in it, for I have given you the land to possess.
54 'And you shall divide the land by lot as an
inheritance among your families; to the larger you shall
give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller you shall
give a smaller inheritance; there everyone's inheritance
shall be whatever falls to him by lot. You shall inherit
according to the tribes of your fathers.
55 'But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the
land from before you, then it shall be that those whom
you let remain shall be irritants in your eyes and thorns
in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land
where you dwell.
56 'Moreover it shall be that I will do to you as I
thought to do to them.' "
(NKJV)
