27. I will send My terror before you and will throw into confusion all the people to whom you shall come, and I will make all your foes turn from you [in flight].
28. And I will send hornets before you which shall drive out the Hivite, Canaanite, and Hittite from before you.
29. I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate [for lack of attention] and the wild beasts multiply against you.
30. Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and are numerous enough to take possession of the land.
31. I will set your borders from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the river [Euphrates]; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand and you shall drive them out before you.
32. You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods.
33. They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.
