Exodus 23:31

Eufrat Rødehavet Sea of the Philistines

²⁹ I will not drive them out before you in a single year; otherwise the land would become desolate and wild animals would multiply against you.

³⁰ Little by little I will drive them out ahead of you, until you become fruitful and possess the land.

And I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the Euphrates. For I will deliver the inhabitants into your hand, and you will drive them out before you.

³² You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods.

³³ They must not remain in your land, lest they cause you to sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
