|
29. I will not H3808 drive them out H1644 from before H4480 H6440 thee in one H259 year H8141 ; lest H6435 the land H776 become H1961 desolate H8077 , and the beast H2416 of the field H7704 multiply H7227 against H5921 thee.
|
|
30. Instead, I will drive them out little by little before you, until you have grown numerous enough to take possession of the land.
|
30. By little H4592 and little H4592 I will drive them out H1644 from before H4480 H6440 thee, until H5704 H834 thou be increased H6509 , and inherit H5157 H853 the land H776 .
|
|
31. I will set your boundaries from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the River; all who dwell in this land I will hand over to you to be driven out of your way.
