'Possession' in the Bible

But Israel defeated him in battle and took possession of all his lands from Arnon to Jabbok, including the Ammonites, even though the border of the Ammonites was strong.

So they attacked him, his sons, and his entire army, until there wasn't even a single survivor left. Then they took possession of his land.

Why are you going to eliminate the name of our father from his family, just because he had no son? Give us a possession from among our father's relatives."

"The daughters of Zelophehad are telling the truth. You are certainly to give to them a possession for an inheritance among their father's relatives. You are to pass on the inheritance of their father to them.

If his father doesn't have brothers, then give his inheritance to a relative who is nearest to him from the family and he'll take possession of it. This is to be a permanent ordinance for the Israelis, just as the LORD commanded Moses."

If we've found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as our possession instead of us crossing the Jordan River."

but we won't return to our homes until every Israeli has taken possession of each of their inheritances,

and subjugated the land before him, then afterwards when you return, you'll be able to stand blameless before the LORD and before Israel. This land will then be your possession before the LORD.

telling them, "If the descendants of Gad and descendants of Reuben cross over the Jordan River with you, that is, all of their soldiers who've been equipped for battle in the LORD's presence, so that the land is subjugated right before your eyes, then you are to give them the land of Gilead as their possession.

But if the armed men don't cross over with you, then they won't have any possession in the land of Canaan."

"We are to cross over in battle array in the LORD's presence into the land of Canaan, and afterwards the possession of our inheritance will be on this side of the Jordan River."

take possession of the land, and live in it, because I've given you the land to inherit.

Every daughter who is in possession of an inheritance from the Israelis is to marry someone from the families within her father's tribe so the Israelis can retain possession of their ancestral inheritance.
