“He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.”
Possession of the land: "He cast out the nations before them; he apportioned them a heritage by lot, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents." The occupation of Canaan is presented as God's action; the nations are cast out by God, and the land is distributed by divine allocation. Human conquest becomes a divinely enabled process.
