vw@Exodus:23:1 @ You shall not raise a false report. Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an unjust witness.

vw@Exodus:23:29 @ I will not drive them out before you in one year, that the land not become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.

vw@Exodus:23:30 @ Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you are fruitful, and have taken possession of the land.

vw@Exodus:23:31 @ And I have set your borders from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River. For I will deliver up the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.
