'Possession Of The Land' in the Bible

Now, when Joshua had let the people go, the sons of Israel went their way, every man to his inheritance, to take possession of the land.

And they said - Arise! and let us go up against them, for we have seen the land, and lo! it is very good, - are, ye, then, minded to do nothing? do not be too slothful to go, and enter, and take possession of the land.
