7 “When Jehovah your God at last brings you into the land to which you are going so as to take possession of it,+ he must also clear away populous nations from before you,+ the Hitʹtites+ and the Girʹga·shites+ and the Amʹor·ites+ and the Caʹnaan·ites+ and the Perʹiz·zites+ and the Hiʹvites+ and the Jebʹu·sites,+ seven nations more populous and mighty than you are.+

22 “And Jehovah your God will certainly push these nations away from before you little by little.+ You will not be allowed to finish them off quickly, for fear the wild beasts of the field may multiply against you.

11 “‘Then YOU went crossing the Jordan+ and came to Jerʹi·cho.+ And the landowners* of Jerʹi·cho, the Amʹor·ites and the Perʹiz·zites and the Caʹnaan·ites and the Hitʹtites and the Girʹga·shites, the Hiʹvites and the Jebʹu·sites began fighting against YOU; but I gave them into YOUR hand.+
