Numbers 33:49-56
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 33
49They camped by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth as far as Abel-shittim, in the plains of Moab.
50Then the Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho, saying,
51Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
52you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from you, and destroy all their idolatrous sculptures, destroy all their cast metal images, and eliminate all their high places;
53and you shall take possession of the land and live in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it.
54You shall maintain the land as an inheritance by lot according to your families; to the larger you shall give more inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give less inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to anyone, that shall be his. You shall pass on land as an inheritance according to the tribes of your fathers.
55But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from you, then it will come about that those whom you let remain of them will be like thorns in your eyes and like pricks in your sides, and they will trouble you in the land in which you live.
56And just as I plan to do to them, I will do to you.’?'
King James Version
Chapter 33
49And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth even unto Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.
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.

Chapter 33
49They camped by the Jordan from Beth-jeshimoth to the Acacia Meadow on the plains of Moab.
50The Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho,
51"Tell the Israelites: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
52you must drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you, destroy all their stone images and cast images, and demolish all their high places.
53You are to take possession of the land and settle in it because I have given you the land to possess.
54You are to receive the land as an inheritance by lot according to your clans. Increase the inheritance for a large clan and decrease it for a small one. Whatever place the lot indicates for someone will be his. You will receive an inheritance according to your ancestral tribes.
55But if you don't drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, those you allow to remain will become barbs for your eyes and thorns for your sides; they will harass you in the land where you will live.
56And what I had planned to do to them, I will do to you."
New Living Translation
50While they were camped near the Jordan River on the plains of Moab opposite Jericho, the Lord said to Moses,
51Give the following instructions to the people of Israel: When you cross the Jordan River into the land of Canaan,
52you must drive out all the people living there. You must destroy all their carved and molten images and demolish all their pagan shrines.
53Take possession of the land and settle in it, because I have given it to you to occupy.
54You 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.
55But 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.
56And I will do to you what I had planned to do to them.'

52then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, destroy all their engraved stones, destroy all their molded images, and demolish all their high places;
53you shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land and dwell in it, for I have given you the land to possess.
54And you shall divide the land by lot as an inheritance among your families; to the larger you shall give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give a smaller inheritance; there everyone’s inheritance shall be whatever falls to him by lot. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers.
55But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall be that those whom you let remain shall be irritants in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land where you dwell.
56Moreover it shall be that I will do to you as I thought to do to them.’ ”
