You must destroy all of their high places. 53You will take the land and you will settle there, because I am giving this land to you.

They will bring many troubles to the country where you will be living. 56I showed you what I would do—and I will do that to you!”

The Canaanites Must Be Forced Out
50The Lord said to Moses on the plains of Moab near the Jordan River across from Jericho, 51“Tell the Israelites, ‘You will be crossing the Jordan River and entering Canaan. 52As you advance, force out all the people who live there. Get rid of all their stone and metal idols, and destroy all their places of worship. 53Take possession of the land and live there, because I will give it to you for your own. 54Divide the land among your families by drawing lots. Give more land to larger families and less land to smaller ones. The land must be given to each family by drawing lots. Divide it among your ancestors’ tribes.
55“ ‘But if you do not force out those who live in the land, they will be like splinters in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will constantly fight with you over the land you live in. 56Then I will do to you what I planned to do to them.’ ”
