²⁹ I cast them not out from before thee in one year, lest the land be a desolation, and the beast of the field hath multiplied against thee;

³⁵ I [am] Jehovah, I have spoken; if I do not this to all this evil company who are meeting against me; -- in this wilderness they are consumed, and there they die.'

²⁴ for I dispossess nations from before thee, and have enlarged thy border, and no man doth desire thy land in thy going up to appear before Jehovah thy God three times in a year.
