The Boundaries of the Promised Land
50And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho , saying , 51Speak unto the children of Israel , and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan ; 52Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures , and destroy all their molten images , and quite pluck down all their high places : 53And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land , and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it. 54And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families : and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance , and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance : every man’s inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth ; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit . 55But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes , and thorns in your sides , and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell . 56Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.
