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!”
