Exodus 23:23-33

231For My angel will go before you and bring you in to the land of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will completely destroy them.

242You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their deeds; 3but you shall utterly overthrow them and break their 4sacred pillars in pieces.

255But you shall serve the Lord your God, 6and He will bless your bread and your water; and 7I will remove sickness from your midst.

26There shall be no one miscarrying or 8barren in your land; 9I will fulfill the number of your days.

27I will 10send My terror ahead of you, and 11throw into confusion all the people among whom you come, and I will 12make all your enemies turn their backs to you.

28I will send 13hornets ahead of you so that they will 14drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites before you.

2915I will not drive them out before you in a single year, that the land may not become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.

30I will drive them out before you 16little by little, until you become fruitful and take possession of the land.

3117I will fix your boundary from the 18Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River Euphrates; 19for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will 20drive them out before you.

3221You shall 22make no covenant with them 23or with their gods.

3324They shall not live in your land, because they will make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, 25it will surely be a snare to you.”
