Exodus 23:28-33 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

28. `And I have sent the hornet before thee, and it hath cast out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee;

29. I cast them not out from before thee in one year, lest the land be a desolation, and the beast of the field hath multiplied against thee;

30. little [by] little I cast them out from before thee, till thou art fruitful, and hast inherited the land.

31. `And I have set thy border from the Red Sea, even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness unto the River: for I give into your hand the inhabitants of the land, and thou hast cast them out from before thee;

32. thou dost not make a covenant with them, and with their gods;

33. they do not dwell in thy land, lest they cause thee to sin against Me when thou servest their gods, when it becometh a snare to thee.'
