'Dispossess' in the Bible
"You may say to yourselves, "These nations are more numerous than we are. How can we dispossess them?'
"Listen, Israel! Today you are about to cross the Jordan to enter and dispossess greater and mightier nations than you, who live in large cities that are fortified to the sky.
But know today that the LORD your God is going ahead of you as a consuming fire. He will destroy and subdue them before you. He will dispossess and destroy them quickly, just as the LORD told you.
then the LORD will dispossess all these nations before you and you'll dispossess nations that are even greater and stronger than you.
Be sure you destroy there all the places where the nations that you're going to dispossess serve their gods upon the high mountains and hills and under every leafy tree.
"When the LORD your God eliminates the nations that you are about to dispossess so you can live in their land,
because those nations that you are about to dispossess listen to those who practice witchcraft and divination. But the LORD does not allow you to act this way."
"When the LORD your God destroys those nations whose lands he is about to give you, you must dispossess them and live in their cities and houses.
and the LORD told me, "You won't be crossing the Jordan River.' But the LORD your God is crossing over before you. He will destroy these nations in front of you and you will dispossess them. As for Joshua, he will cross over before you, just as the LORD promised.
