Exegesis
The phrase le-yisrael be-nachalah {לְיִשְׂרָאֵל בְּנַחֲלָה | lə-yiśrā-ʼēl bə-na-ḥa-lāh} expresses legal transfer ‘to Israel as an inheritance’, and kaasher tsvivtikha {כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִיךָ | kă-ʼă-šer ṣivvîṯî-khā} ‘as I have commanded you’ closes the compliance clause, preserving the Hebrew list structure and emphatic divine self-identification.

All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-Maim, all the Sidonians—I Myself will drive them out before the sons of Israel. Only allot it to Israel by lot as an inheritance , as I have commanded you.
