The Israelites said to the Hivites,“ But suppose you live close to us. If you do, we can’t make a peace treaty with you.”

But the men of Israel said to the Hivites,“ Perhaps you live among us; then how can we make a covenant with you?”

The Israelites replied to these Hivites,“ How do we know you don’t live nearby? For if you do, we cannot make a treaty with you.”

and I have come down to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians and to bring them from that land to a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey— the territory of the Canaanites, Hethites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

you must drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you, destroy all their stone images and cast images, and demolish all their high places.

I will set your borders from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates River. For I will place the inhabitants of the land under your control, and you will drive them out ahead of you.You must not make a covenant with them or their gods.They must not remain in your land, or else they will make you sin against me. If you serve their gods, it will be a snare for you.”
