²⁷ “I will send ^(A)My fear before you, I will ^(B)cause confusion among all the people to whom you come, and will make all your enemies turn their backs to you. ²⁸ And ^(C)I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before you. ^29 (D)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. ³¹ And ^(E)I will set your ^[a]bounds from the Red Sea to the sea, Philistia, and from the desert to the ^[b]River. For I will ^(F)deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.

¹¹ Then ^(A)you went over the Jordan and came to Jericho. And ^(B)the men of Jericho fought against you—also the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. But I delivered them into your hand.
