You must distribute the country to the people of Israel as I have told you.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)

"I myself, will drive all of them out from before the Israelites. Distribute that land as inheritance to the Israelites by casting lots, as I have told you.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “and also including the mountains from Lebanon up-to Misrefot Maim, which belongs-to the Sidonhon.
‘In your (plur.) attacking, I myself will-drive-out the residents of these lands. You (sing.) are-to-be-sure that these lands will-be-divided/partitioned among the Israelinhon as their inheritance, according-to what I commanded you (sing.).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - English: “All the people of the Sidon people-group live in the hilly area from Lebanon to Misrephoth-Maim, but I will force them to leave that area before you Israelis arrive there. Be sure to give that area to the Israeli people when you divide the land among them, like I told you to do.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
