Exodus 23:29-33

Exodus 23:29-33

[29] I will not drive them out  from before  thee in one  year;  lest the land  become desolate,  and the beast  of the field  multiply  [30] By little  I will drive them out  from before  thee, until thou be increased,  and inherit  the land.  [31] And I will set  thy bounds  from the Red  sea  of the Philistines,  and from the desert  unto the river:  for I will deliver  the inhabitants  of the land  into your hand;  and thou shalt drive them out  before  [32] Thou shalt make  no covenant  with them, nor with their gods.  [33] They shall not dwell  in thy land,  lest they make thee sin  against me: for if thou serve  their gods,  it will surely be a snare  unto thee.
