'Possess the Land' in the Bible

And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.

So now seeing the LORD God of Israel hath cast out the Amorites before his people, shouldest thou possess the land?

And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are ye still? be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land.
