But the Lord thy God shall deliver them unto thee Gradually, by little and little, until at length they should all come into their hands: and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction until they be destroyed; even all of them.
21
You shall not be in dread of them; for the LORD your God is in the midst of you, a great and terrible God.
22
The LORD your God will clear away these nations before you little by little; you may not make an end of them at once, lest the wild beasts grow too numerous for you.
23
But the LORD your God will give them over to you, and throw them into great confusion, until they are destroyed.
24
And he will give their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name perish from under heaven; not a man shall be able to stand against you, until you have destroyed them.
25
The graven images of their gods you shall burn with fire; you shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, or take it for yourselves, lest you be ensnared by it; for it is an abomination to the LORD your God.
