27. I will terrify those nations and make your enemies so confused that they will run from you.
28. I will make the Hivites, Canaanites, and Hittites panic as you approach.
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.
