Deuteronomy 7:1
When the LORD your God brings you to the land that you are going to occupy and forces out many nations before you– Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, seven nations more numerous and powerful than you–

Exodus 23:27-28
“ I will send my terror before you, and I will destroy all the people whom you encounter; I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.I will send hornets before you that will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite before you.

Psalms 44:2-3
You, by your power, defeated nations and settled our fathers on their land; you crushed the people living there and enabled our ancestors to occupy it.For they did not conquer the land by their swords, and they did not prevail by their strength, but rather by your power, strength and good favor, for you were partial to them.

Deuteronomy 9:1-5
Listen, Israel: Today you are about to cross the Jordan so you can dispossess the nations there, people greater and stronger than you who live in large cities with extremely high fortifications.They include the Anakites, a numerous and tall people whom you know about and of whom it is said,“ Who is able to resist the Anakites?”Understand today that the LORD your God who goes before you is a devouring fire; he will defeat and subdue them before you. You will dispossess and destroy them quickly just as he has told you.Do not think to yourself after the LORD your God has driven them out before you,“ Because of my own righteousness the LORD has brought me here to possess this land.” It is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is driving them out ahead of you.It is not because of your righteousness, or even your inner uprightness, that you have come here to possess their land. Instead, because of the wickedness of these nations the LORD your God is driving them out ahead of you in order to confirm the promise he made on oath to your ancestors, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Deuteronomy 8:18
You must remember the LORD your God, for he is the one who gives ability to get wealth; if you do this he will confirm his covenant that he made by oath to your ancestors, even as he has to this day.

Deuteronomy 2:31-3:16
The LORD said to me,“ Look! I have already begun to give over Sihon and his land to you. Start right now to take his land as your possession.”When Sihon and all his troops emerged to encounter us in battle at Jahaz,the LORD our God delivered him over to us and we struck him down, along with his sons and everyone else.At that time we seized all his cities and put every one of them under divine judgment, including even the women and children; we left no survivors.We kept only the livestock and plunder from the cities for ourselves.From Aroer, which is at the edge of Wadi Arnon( it is the city in the wadi), all the way to Gilead there was not a town able to resist us– the LORD our God gave them all to us.However, you did not approach the land of the Ammonites, the Wadi Jabbok, the cities of the hill country, or any place else forbidden by the LORD our God.Next we set out on the route to Bashan, but King Og of Bashan and his whole army came out to meet us in battle at Edrei.The LORD, however, said to me,“ Don’t be afraid of him because I have already given him, his whole army, and his land to you. You will do to him exactly what you did to King Sihon of the Amorites who lived in Heshbon.”So the LORD our God did indeed give over to us King Og of Bashan and his whole army and we struck them down until not a single survivor was left.We captured all his cities at that time– there was not a town we did not take from them– sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the dominion of Og in Bashan.All of these cities were fortified by high walls, gates, and locking bars; in addition there were a great many open villages.We put all of these under divine judgment just as we had done to King Sihon of Heshbon– every occupied city, including women and children.But all the livestock and plunder from the cities we kept for ourselves.So at that time we took the land of the two Amorite kings in the Transjordan from Wadi Arnon to Mount Hermon( the Sidonians call Hermon Sirion and the Amorites call it Senir),all the cities of the plateau, all of Gilead and Bashan as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.Only King Og of Bashan was left of the remaining Rephaites.( It is noteworthy that his sarcophagus was made of iron. Does it not, indeed, still remain in Rabbath of the Ammonites? It is thirteen and a half feet long and six feet wide according to standard measure.)This is the land we brought under our control at that time: The territory extending from Aroer by the Wadi Arnon and half the Gilead hill country with its cities I gave to the Reubenites and Gadites.The rest of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh.( All the region of Argob, that is, all Bashan, is called the land of Rephaim.Jair, son of Manasseh, took all the Argob region as far as the border with the Geshurites and Maacathites( namely Bashan) and called it by his name, Havvoth-Jair, which it retains to this very day.)I gave Gilead to Machir.To the Reubenites and Gadites I allocated the territory extending from Gilead as far as Wadi Arnon( the exact middle of the wadi was a boundary) all the way to the Wadi Jabbok, the Ammonite border.

Joshua 3:10
Joshua continued,“ This is how you will know the living God is among you and that he will truly drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites.
