'Possess the Land' in the Bible

And when Joshua had sent the people away, the [tribes of the] Israelites went each to his inheritance, to take possession of the land.

They said, “Arise, let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good (fertile). Will you sit still and do nothing? Do not hesitate to go, to enter, to take possession of the land.
