24 “‘Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, because by all these things the nations whom I am sending out from before YOU have made themselves unclean.+

21 They were a great and numerous and tall people like the Anʹa·kim;+ and Jehovah went annihilating+ them from before them, that they might dispossess them and dwell in their place;

8 “‘Eventually I brought YOU to the land of the Amʹor·ites who were dwelling on the other side of the Jordan, and they went fighting against YOU.+ At that I gave them into YOUR hand that YOU might take possession of their land, and I annihilated them from before YOU.+
