29 I won’t drive them out before you in a single year so the land won’t be abandoned and the wild animals won’t multiply around you.
30 I’ll drive them out before you little by little, until your numbers grow and you eventually possess the land.
31 I’ll set your borders from the Reed Sea to the Philistine Sea and from the desert to the River. I’ll hand the inhabitants of the land over to you, and you will drive them out before you.
32 Don’t make any covenants with them or their gods.
33 Don’t allow them to live in your land, or else they will lead you to sin against me. If you worship their gods, it will become a dangerous trap for you.
