Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the sons of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.

So now LORD, the God of Israel, has dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and should thou possess them?

Will thou not possess that which Chemosh thy god gives thee to possess? So whomever LORD our God has dispossessed from before us, them will we possess.

And they said, Arise, and let us go up against them, for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good, and are ye idle? Be not slothful to go and to enter in to possess the land.
