"And I will sendª°¹ hornetsª beforeª thee, which shall drive outª°¹ the Hivite,ª¹ the Canaanite,ª and the Hittite,ª from beforeª¹ thee. ... By littleª and littleª I will drive them outª° from beforeª¹ thee, until¹¹ thou be increased,ª° and inheritª°¹ the land.ª" {Exd 23:28-30} + "Then ye shall drive outª°¹ all¹ the inhabitantsª° of the landª from beforeª¹ you, and destroyª°¹ all¹ their pictures,ª and destroyª° all¹ their moltenª images,ª and quite pluck downª° all¹ their high places:ª ...
