²² And the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you ^(A)little by little; you will be unable to ^[a]destroy them at once, lest the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.

^29 (A)I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. ³⁰ Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land.

⁶³ As for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, ^(A)the children of Judah could not drive them out; ^(B)but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem to this day.
