Amplified Bible
Exodus 23:23-33
23When My Angel goes before you and brings you to [the land of] the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, I will reject them and completely destroy them.
24You shall not bow down to worship their gods, nor serve them, nor do [anything] in accordance with their practices. You shall completely overthrow them and break down their [sacred] pillars and images [of pagan worship].
25You shall serve [only] the Lord your God, and He shall bless your bread and water. I will also remove sickness from among you.
26No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.
27I will send My terror ahead of you, and I will throw into confusion all the people among whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you [in flight].
28I will send hornets ahead of you which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite before you.
29I will not drive them out before you in a single year, so that the land does not become desolate [due to lack of attention] and the [wild] animals of the field do not become too numerous for you.
30I will drive them out before you little by little, until you have increased and are strong enough to take possession of the land.
31I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines (the Mediterranean), and from the wilderness to the River Euphrates; for I will hand over the residents of the land to you, and you shall drive them out before you.
32You shall not make a covenant with them or with their gods.
33They shall not live in your land, because they will make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, it is certain to be a trap for you [resulting in judgment].”
