3And they journeyed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with a high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians,

4while the Egyptians were burying them that HaShem had smitten among them, even all their first-born; upon their gods also HaShem executed judgments.

51'Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

52then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figured stones, and destroy all their molten images, and demolish all their high places.

53And ye shall drive out the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein; for unto you have I given the land to possess it.

54And ye shall inherit the land by lot according to your families--to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer thou shalt give the less inheritance; wheresoever the lot falleth to any man, that shall be his; according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye inherit.

55But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then shall those that ye let remain of them be as thorns in your eyes, and as pricks in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land wherein ye dwell.

56And it shall come to pass, that as I thought to do unto them, so will I do unto you.
