And the LORD {H3068} thy God {H430} will put out {H5394} those {H411} nations {H1471} before {H6440} thee by little {H4592} and little {H4592}: thou mayest {H3201} not consume {H3615} them at once {H4118}, lest the beasts {H2416} of the field {H7704} increase {H7235} upon thee.
ADONAI your God will expel those nations ahead of you little by little; you can't put an end to them all at once, or the wild animals will become too numerous for you.
The LORD your God will drive out these nations before you little by little. You will not be enabled to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals would multiply around you.
And Jehovah thy God will cast 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.
