'Drive' in the Bible

The Lord will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be reduced to a few survivors among the nations where the Lord your God will drive you.

to drive out before you nations greater and stronger than you and to bring you in and give you their land as an inheritance, as is now taking place.

“If you say to yourself, ‘These nations are greater than I; how can I drive them out?’

The Lord your God will drive out these nations before you little by little. You will not be able to destroy them all at once; otherwise, the wild animals will become too numerous for you.

“Listen, Israel: Today you are about to cross the Jordan to go and drive out nations greater and stronger than you, with large cities fortified to the heavens.

But understand that today the Lord your God will cross over ahead of you as a consuming fire; He will devastate and subdue them before you. You will drive them out and destroy them swiftly, as the Lord has told you.

When the Lord your God drives them out before you, do not say to yourself, ‘The Lord brought me in to take possession of this land because of my righteousness.’ Instead, the Lord will drive out these nations before you because of their wickedness.

You are not going to take possession of their land because of your righteousness or your integrity. Instead, the Lord your God will drive out these nations before you because of their wickedness, in order to keep the promise He swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

the Lord will drive out all these nations before you, and you will drive out nations greater and stronger than you are.

“When the Lord your God annihilates the nations before you, which you are entering to take possession of, and you drive them out and live in their land,

Though these nations you are about to drive out listen to fortune-tellers and diviners, the Lord your God has not permitted you to do this.

“When the Lord your God annihilates the nations whose land He is giving you, so that you drive them out and live in their cities and houses,

You will become an object of horror, scorn, and ridicule among all the peoples where the Lord will drive you.

The Lord your God is the One who will cross ahead of you. He will destroy these nations before you, and you will drive them out. Joshua is the one who will cross ahead of you, as the Lord has said.
