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. It will belong to your family groups. 54Each 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.

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!”

Every man’s inheritance will be in the place where his lot falls. By the tribes of your fathers you will inherit.
55#Jdg 2:3But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those whom you let remain will be like thorns in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will show hostility to you in the land in which you live. 56#Dt 28:63And what I had planned to do to them, I will do to you.
