Deuteronomy 7:1-2, 22-23

Deuteronomy 7:1-2 NCV

The LORD your God will bring you into the land that you are entering and that you will have as your own. As you go in, he will force out these nations: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—seven nations that are stronger than you. The LORD your God will hand these nations over to you, and when you defeat them, you must destroy them completely. Do not make a peace treaty with them or show them any mercy.

Deuteronomy 7:22-23 NCV

When the LORD your God forces those nations out of the land, he will do it little by little ahead of you. You won’t be able to destroy them all at once; otherwise, the wild animals will grow too many in number. But the LORD your God will hand those nations over to you, confusing them until they are destroyed.
