Exodus 23:27-33

27I will send my terror before you and will throw into confusion all the people against whom you shall come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.

28And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from before you.

29I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the wild beasts multiply against you.

30Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and possess the land.

31And I will set your border from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates, for I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.

32You shall make no covenant with them and their gods.

33They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me; for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you."
