And Yahweh spake unto Moses, in the waste plains of Moab, by Jordan near Jericho saying:

Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, - When ye do pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

then shall ye dispossess all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and shall destroy all their figured stones, - all their molten images, also shall ye destroy, and all their high places, shall ye lay waste.

So shall ye possess the land, and settle down therein, - for unto you, have given the land to possess it.

And ye shall take your inheritance in the land by lot by your families - for the large one, ye shall make large his inheritance, and for the small one, make small his inheritance, whithersoever the lot cometh out to him, his, shall, it be, by the tribes of your fathers, shall ye take your inheritance.

But if ye do not dispossess the inhabitants of the land from before you, then shall it be. that they whom ye leave remaining of them will become pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and will harass you, concerning the land, wherein, ye are settling down.

And it shall be, that as I thought to do unto them, I will do unto you.
