Bible in Basic English
I will not send them all out in one year, for fear that their land may become waste, and the beasts of the field be increased overmuch against you.
Little by little I will send them away before you, till your numbers are increased and you take up your heritage in the land.
I will let the limits of your land be from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the waste land to the river Euphrates: for I will give the people of those lands into your power; and you will send them out before you.
Make no agreement with them or with their gods.
Let them not go on living in your land, or they will make you do evil against me: for if you give worship to their gods, it will certainly be a cause of sin to you.
— Exodus 23:29-1964, Bible in Basic English
“I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the animals of the field multiply against you. Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and inherit the land. I will set your border from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you. You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me, for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you."”
All your animals will give birth without loss, not one will be without young in all your land; I will give you a full measure of life.
I will send my fear before you, putting to flight all the people to whom you come; all those who are against you will go in flight, turning their backs before you.
