Exodus 23:27-33

27I will 1send My terror ahead of you, and 2throw into confusion all the people among whom you come, and I will 3make all your enemies turn their backs to you.

28I will send 4hornets ahead of you so that they will 5drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites before you.

29 6I 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 7little by little, until you become fruitful and take possession of the land.

31 8I will fix your boundary from the 9Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River Euphrates; 10for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will 11drive them out before you.

32 12You shall 13make no covenant with them 14or with their gods.

33 15They shall not live in your land, because they will make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, 16it will surely be a snare to you.”
