for hI will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you. Numbers 34:3-12
3 iyour south side shall be from the wilderness of Zin alongside Edom, and your southern border shall run from the end of jthe Salt Sea on the east. 4And your border shall turn south of kthe ascent of Akrabbim, and cross to Zin, and its limit shall be south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it shall go on to lHazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon. 5And the border shall turn mfrom Azmon to nthe Brook of Egypt, and its limit shall be at the sea.6“For the western border, you shall have the Great Sea and its ▼

15 wAnd if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, xchoose this day whom you will serve, whether ythe gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or zthe gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. aaBut as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”Amos 2:9
9 “Yet abit was I who destroyed the Amorite before them,acwhose height was like the height of the cedars
and who was as strong as the oaks;
adI destroyed his fruit above
and his roots beneath.
