Bible in Basic English

In The King James Version

And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.

In Context

54And you will take up your heritage in the land by the decision of the Lord, to every family its part; the greater the family the greater its heritage, and the smaller the family the smaller will be its heritage; wherever the decision of the Lord gives to any man his part, that will be his; distribution will be made to you by your fathers' tribes.
