50 On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho the LORD said to Moses, |
51 "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'When you cross the Jordan into Canaan, |
52 drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you. Destroy all their carved images and their cast idols, and demolish all their high places. |
53 Take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess. |
54 Distribute the land by lot, according to your clans. To a larger group give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group a smaller one. Whatever falls to them by lot will be theirs. Distribute it according to your ancestral tribes. |
