One passage in particular in Numbers (33:50–56) speaks about Israel ridding the land of its current peoples, collectively called “all the inhabitants of the land.” The verb used here is yarash (vv. 52, 53, 55), which, when followed by the phrase “all the inhabitants of the land,” means “dispossess” (vv. 52, 55), but when followed by the phrase “the land” means “take possession of” (v. 53). Like Exodus, Numbers never uses kharam of the Canaanites, although it uses kharam to describe Israel’s gifts
