| 29. Formal Translation I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply upon you. |
| 29. Dynamic Translation I will not push them out all at once in a single year, because if I did, the land would turn into a wasteland and wild animals would become too many for you. |
