29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, so that the land does not become desolate and the wild animals of the field multiply against you.+

2 This is the land remaining:+ all the regions of the Phi·lisʹtines and all the Geshʹur·ites+ 3 (from the branch of the Nile* that is east of* Egypt up to the border of Ekʹron to the north, which used to be considered Caʹnaan·ite territory)+ including that of the five lords of the Phi·lisʹtines+—the Gazʹites, the Ashʹdod·ites,+ the Ashʹke·lon·ites,+ the Gitʹtites,+ and the Ekʹron·ites;+ that of the Avʹvim+ 4 to the south; all the land of the Caʹnaan·ites; Me·arʹah, which belongs to the Si·doʹni·ans,+ as far as Aʹphek, to the border of the Amʹor·ites; 5 the land of the Geʹbal·ites+ and all of Lebʹa·non toward the east, from Baʹal-gad at the base of Mount Herʹmon to Leʹbo-haʹmath;*+ 6 all the inhabitants of the mountainous region from Lebʹa·non+ to Misʹre·photh-maʹim;+ and all the Si·doʹni·ans.+ I will drive them out* before the Israelites.+ You have only to assign it to Israel as an inheritance, just as I have commanded you.+
