Deuteronomio 7

Egli consumerà dinanzi a te queste nazioni a poco a poco, e parte a parte. Tu non potrai sterminarle ad un tratto, affinché non moltiplichino in tuo danno le fiere selvagge.

Y Jehová tu Dios echará á estas gentes de delante de ti poco á poco: no las podrás acabar luego, porque las bestias del campo no se aumenten contra ti.

And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.

The LORD your God will cast out those nations before you little by little. You may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you.
