Command the children of Israel, and say to them: When you shall have passed over the Jordan, entering into the land of Chanaan,

Præcipe filiis Israël, et dic ad eos: Quando transieritis Jordanem, intrantes terram Chanaan,

giving him a message for the Israelites: When you have crossed Jordan, and find yourselves in the land of Chanaan,

Destroy all the inhabitants of that land: Beat down their pillars, and break in pieces their statues, and waste all their high places,

disperdite cunctos habitatores terræ illius: confringite titulos, et statuas comminuite, atque omnia excelsa vastate,

you must destroy all its inhabitants, break down their pillars, shatter their idols, devastate their mountain shrines.

Cleansing the land, and dwelling in it. For I have given it you for a possession.

mundantes terram, et habitantes in ea. Ego enim dedi vobis illam in possessionem,

The land must be swept clean before you settle in it. Here it is that I mean to give you your home,

And you shall divide it among you by lot. To the more you shall give a larger part, and to the fewer a lesser. To every one as the lot shall fall, so shall the inheritance be given. The possession shall be divided by the tribes and the families.

quam dividetis vobis sorte. Pluribus dabitis latiorem, et paucis angustiorem. Singulis ut sors ceciderit, ita tribuetur hæreditas. Per tribus et familias possessio dividetur.

which you will divide up by lot, wide lands for the many, a narrow strip for the few, each clan and each household receiving such portion as the lot has assigned to it.

But if you will not kill the inhabitants of the land: they that remain, shall be unto you as nails in your eyes, and spears in your sides, and they shall be your adversaries in the land of your habitation.

Sin autem nolueritis interficere habitatores terræ: qui remanserint, erunt vobis quasi clavi in oculis, et lanceæ in lateribus, et adversabuntur vobis in terra habitationis vestræ:

If you refuse to root out the nations that now live there, those who are left will be eyesores to you, barbs in your side, to dispute with you the land that is yours;

And whatsoever I had thought to do to them, I will do to you.

et quidquid illis cogitaveram facere, vobis faciam.

and meanwhile, I will plague you with the plagues that should have been theirs.
