Deuteronomy 7:22
—
22
耶和华—你 神必将这些国的民从你面前渐渐赶出；你不可把他们速速灭尽，恐怕野地的兽多起来害你。
yē hé huá — nǐ shén bì jiāng zhè xiē guó de mín cóng nǐ miàn qián jiàn jiàn gǎn chū ； nǐ bù kě bǎ tā men sù sù miè jìn ， kǒng pà yě dì de shòu duō qǐ lái hài nǐ 。
The LORD your God will cast out those nations before you little by little. You may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you.
