I will make all your enemies turn and run. 28 I will send terror[a] ahead of you to drive out the Hivites, Canaanites, and Hittites. 29 But I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate and the wild animals would multiply and threaten you. 30 I will drive them out a little at a time until your population has increased enough to take possession of the land. 31 And I will fix your boundaries from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea,[b] and from the eastern wilderness to the Euphrates River.[c] I will hand over to you the people now living in the land, and you will drive them out ahead of you.
