Exodus 23:29-31

Expanded Bible

²⁹ But I will not ·force all those people out [drive them out] in only one year. If I did, the land would become ·a desert [desolate] and the wild animals would become too many for you. ³⁰ Instead, I will ·force those people [drive them] out ·slowly [little by little], until there are enough of you to ·take over [possess] the land.

³¹ “I will give you the land from the ·Red [or Reed; 10:19] Sea to the ·Mediterranean [^LPhilistine] Sea, and from the ·desert [wilderness] to the ·Euphrates River [^LRiver]. I will give ·you power over [^Linto your hand] the people who now live in the land, and you will ·force [drive] them out ahead of you.
