for they did not drive them out.

34 The Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill country; for they
would not allow them to come down to the valley;

forced labor.

anger, and according to your envy which you have shown out of your hatred
against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge
you.

24 There shall be no more a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting
thorn of any that are around them, that did despite to them; and they
shall know that I am the Lord Yahweh.

vineyards, and shall dwell securely, when I have executed judgments on all
those who do them despite all around them; and they shall know that I am
Yahweh their God.

nations, even these who remain among you, and make marriages with them, and

nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap to you,
a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this
good land which Yahweh your God has given you.
Judgment of the nations because of Israel
Jr 30:11,16,20
11 For I am with you, says Yahweh, to save you: for I will make a full end of
all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end
of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you
unpunished.
16 Therefore all those who devour you shall be devoured; and all your
adversaries, everyone of them, shall go into captivity; and those who despoil
you shall be a spoil, and all who prey on you will I give for a prey.
20 Their children also shall be as before, and their congregation shall be
established before me; and I will punish all who oppress them.

God Gave Land to Other Nations
Dt 2:5,9,19

to Esau for a possession.
9 Yahweh said to me, “Don’t bother Moab, neither contend with them in
battle; for I will not give you of his land for a possession; because I have
given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession.”
19 and when you come near over against the children of Ammon, don’t bother
them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you of the land of the children
of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it to the children of Lot for
a possession.”
Dt 3:16
To the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the valley of
the Arnon, the middle of the valley, and the border of it, even to the
river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;

From there they traveled, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is
in the wilderness, that comes out of the border of the Amorites: for the
Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.

You have made summer and winter. *
