Remember that I told you your people could have that land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea in the west. I promised to give you that land, but you don’t control it yet.
God forced the other nations\par to leave that land.\par God gave each family its share of the land.\par God gave each family group of Israel\par its home to live in.\par
So I will force those people out of your land very slowly. You will continue to move across the land. And wherever you go I will force the other people to leave.
\{God says,\} “I have destroyed whole nations. I destroyed their defense towers. I destroyed their streets and now no one goes there any more. Their cities are empty—no one lives there any more.
“You are going to take your land from other people. The Lord your God will destroy those people for you. You will force those people out of that land, and you will live there.
