     * put out.  Heb. pluck off.  thou mayest.
       As the Israelites were not yet sufficiently numerous to fill
       the whole land occupied by these nations; and as wild and
       ferocious animals might be expected to multiply where the
       place was but thinly peopled, therefore God informs them that
       their extermination from before them should be gradual.
       Haynes says, "The approaching to Cana, at the close of the
       day, as we did, is at once terrifying and dangerous.  The
       surrounding country swarms with wild beasts, such as tigers,
       leopards, jackals, etc., whose cries and howling, I doubt not,
       would strike the boldest traveller, who had not been
       frequently in a like situation, with the deepest sense of
       horror."
