29 But I won't do all this in the first year, because the land would become poor, and wild animals would be everywhere.
30 Instead, I will force out your enemies little by little and give your nation time to grow strong enough to take over the land.
31 I will see that your borders reach from the Red Sea to the River Euphrates and from the Mediterranean Sea to the desert. I will let you defeat the people who live there, and you will force them out of the land.
32 But you must not make any agreements with them or with their gods.
33 Don't let them stay in your land. They will trap you into sinning against me and worshipping their gods.
