Amalekites live in the southern part of the land; Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites live in the hill country; and Canaanites live by the Mediterranean Sea and along the Jordan River.”
It will be four generations before your descendants come back here, because I will not drive out the Amorites until they become so wicked that they must be punished.”
