47. And departing from Almon-diblathaim, they went to the mountains of Abarim, opposite Nebo.
48. And setting out from the mountains of Abarim, they crossed over to the plains of Moab, above the Jordan, opposite Jericho.
49. And they made camp there, from Beth-jeshimoth all the way to Abel-shittim, in the level places of the Moabites,
50. where the Lord said to Moses:
51. "Instruct the sons of Israel, and say to them: When you will have crossed over the Jordan, entering into the land of Canaan,
52. destroy all the inhabitants of that land. Break their monuments, and shatter their statues, and lay waste to every exalted thing,
53. cleansing the land and living in it. For I have given it you as a possession,
54. which you shall divide among you by lot. To the greater number you shall give more, and to the lesser number, less. To each one, just as the lot shall fall, so shall the inheritance be distributed. The possession shall be divided by the tribes and families.
55. But if you are not willing to put to death the inhabitants of the land, those who remain shall be to you like spikes in your eyes and lances in your sides, and they shall be adversaries to you in the land of your habitation.
56. And whatever I had decided to do to them, I will do to you."
