Exodus 23:27-33

27“I will send my terror ahead of you and throw any nation you meet into a panic. I will make all your enemies flee from you.

28I will spread panic ahead of you to force the Hivites, Canaanites, and Hittites out of your way.

29I will not force them out of your way in one year. Otherwise, the land would be deserted, and wild animals would take over.

30Little by little I will force them out of your way until you have increased enough in number to take possession of the land.

31“I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea and from the Sinai Desert to the Euphrates River. I will put the people living in the land under your control, and you will force them out of your way.

32Never make a treaty with them and their gods.

33Never let them live in your land, or they will make you sin against me and trap you into serving their gods.”
