Exodus 23:29-31

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁹But I will not force all of them out of your land quickly. I will not do this in only one year. The land will be empty if I force the people out too fast. Then all the wild animals would increase and control the land. And they would be much trouble for you. ³⁰So I will force them out of your land very slowly. I will do this as you grow and eventually take the land to be your own.

³¹“I will give you all the land from the Red Sea^[a] to the Mediterranean Sea,^[b] and from the desert of Sinai to the Euphrates River. I will let you defeat the people living there and force them all to leave.
