29 “I shall not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become a waste and the beast of the field become too numerous for you.
30 “Little by little I shall drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land.
31 “And I shall set your border from the Sea of Reeds to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River, for I shall give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.
32 “Do not make a covenant with them nor with their mighty ones.
33 “Let them not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me when you serve their mighty ones, when it becomes a snare to you.”
