Shemot 23:28-30

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁸ And I will send the tzirah (hornet) ahead of thee, which shall drive out the Chivi, the Kena’ani, and the Chitti, from before thee.

²⁹ I will not drive them out from before thee in shanah echat; lest ha’aretz become desolate, and the beast of the sadeh multiply against thee.

³⁰ Me’at me’at (little by little) I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit ha’aretz.
