pillars, and break in pieces their statues, and waste all their high
places,
33:53. Cleansing the land, and dwelling in it. For I have given it you
for a possession.
33:54. And you shall divide it among you by lot. To the more you shall
give a larger part, and to the fewer a lesser. To every one as the lot
shall fall, so shall the inheritance be given. The possession shall be
divided by the tribes and the families.
33:55. But if you will not kill the inhabitants of the land: they that
remain, shall be unto you as nails in your eyes, and spears in your
sides, and they shall be your adversaries in the land of your
habitation.
33:56. And whatsoever I had thought to do to them, I will do to you.
