Context of Exodus 23:26
24Do not worship their gods. Do not serve them. Do not copy the evil things that these people do. Destroy their idols and break their special stones into pieces. 25You must serve only me, the Lord your God. Then I will bless your food and your water. I will remove illness from among you. Your women will safely give birth to babies. They will all be able to have children. Everyone will live a long life. 27I will cause all the nations that you meet to be afraid. All the people who attack you will become confused. I will cause all your enemies to turn round and run away from you. 28I will send great fear on the people as you move into the land. That will chase out the Hivites, the Canaanites and the Hittites.
