all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, even all the Sidonians. I will drive them out from before the children of Israel. Just allocate it to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded you.

Examined in Scripture Analysis
Contradictions (1)
Questions where the Bible appears to say two different things, with the passages on each side set together.
-
How should the Canaanites be treated?
The Pentateuch and Joshua give four incompatible answers about what Israel was to do with the Canaanites. God promises to drive them out himself via hornets and an angel (Exodus 23, 33-34; Josh 3, 13, 23).
Critical scholarship: Widely regarded as a genuine contradiction.
