Deuteronomy 9:4
9:4 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.

Leviticus 18:27

1 tn Heb “which I am sending away (Piel participle of שָׁלַח [shalakh, “to send”]) from your faces.” The rendering here takes the participle as anticipatory of the coming conquest events.
2 tn Heb “for all these abominations the men of the land who were before you have done.”
