27. “I will make the people who oppose you afraid of me; I will bring confusion among the people against whom you fight, and I will make all your enemies turn and run from you.
28. I will throw your enemies into a panic; I will drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites as you advance.
29. I will not drive them out within one year; if I did, the land would become deserted, and the wild animals would be too many for you.
30. Instead, I will drive them out little by little, until there are enough of you to take possession of the land.
31. I will make the borders of your land extend from the Gulf of Aqaba to the Mediterranean Sea and from the desert to the Euphrates River. I will give you power over the inhabitants of the land, and you will drive them out as you advance.
