Exodus 23:23-33
231For My angelH4397 will goH1980 beforeH6440 you and bringH935 you in to the land of the AmoritesH567, the HittitesH2850, the PerizzitesH6522, the CanaanitesH3669, the HivitesH2340 and the JebusitesH2983; and I will completelyH3582 destroyH3582 them.
242You shall not worshipH7812 their godsH430, norH3808 serveH5647 them, norH3808 doH6213 according to their deedsH4639; 3but you shall utterlyH2040 overthrowH2040 them and breakH7665 their 4sacred pillarsH4676 in piecesH7665.
255But you shall serveH5647 the LordH3068 your GodH430, 6and He will blessH1288 your breadH3899 and your waterH4325; and 7I will removeH5493 sicknessH4245 from your midstH7130.
26There shall be noH3808 one miscarryingH7921 or 8barrenH6135 in your landH776; 9I will fulfillH4390 the numberH4557 of your daysH3117.
27I will 10sendH7971 My terrorH367 aheadH6440 of you, and 11throwH2000 into confusionH2000 allH3605 the peopleH5971 among whomH834 you comeH935, and I will 12makeH5414 allH3605 your enemiesH340 turnH5414 their backsH6203 to you.
28I will sendH7971 13hornetsH6880 aheadH6440 of you so that they will 14driveH1644 out the HivitesH2340, the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850 beforeH4480H6440 you.
2915I will not driveH1644 them out beforeH4480 you in a singleH259 yearH8141, that the landH776 may not becomeH1961 desolateH8077 and the beastsH2421 of the fieldH7704 becomeH7231 tooH5921 numerousH7231 for you.
30I will driveH1644 them out beforeH4480 you 16littleH4592 by littleH4592, untilH5704H834 you becomeH6509 fruitfulH6509 and takeH5157 possessionH5157 of the landH776.
3117I will fixH7896 your boundaryH1366 from the 18RedH5488H3220 SeaH3220 to the seaH3220 of the PhilistinesH6430, and from the wildernessH4057 to the RiverH5104 Euphrates; 19for I will deliverH5414 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 into your handH3027, and you will 20driveH1644 them out beforeH4480 you.
3221You shall 22makeH3772 noH3808 covenantH1285 with them 23or with their godsH430.
3324They shall not liveH3427 in your landH776, becauseH6435 they will make you sinH2398 against Me; for if you serveH5647 their godsH430, 25it will surelyH3588 be a snareH4170 to you.”
