'Possess the Land' in the Bible

Then those of the Negev shall possess the mountain of Esau,And those of the Shephelah [shall possess] the Philistine plain;Also, [they shall] possess the fields of Ephraim and the fields of Samaria,And Benjamin will possess Gilead [across the Jordan River].

And the captives of this host of the children of Israel shall possess the land of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
