You must destroy all their carved and molten images and demolish all their pagan shrines.H3423H3427H776H6440H6H4906H6H4541H6754H8045H111653Take possession of the land and settle in it, because I have given it to you to occupy.H3423H776H3427H5414H776H342354You must distribute the land among the clans by sacred lot and in proportion to their size. A larger portion of land will be allotted to each of the larger clans, and a smaller portion will be allotted to each of the smaller clans. The decision of the sacred lot is final. In this way, the portions of land will be divided among your ancestral tribes.H5157H776H1486H5157H4940H7227H7235H5159H4592H4591H5159H1486H3318H4294H1H515755But if you fail to drive out the people who live in the land, those who remain will be like splinters in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will harass you in the land where you live.H3423H3427H776H6440H3498H7899H5869H6796H6654H6887H776H342756And I will do to you what I had planned to do to them."H6213H1819H6213
