Exodus 23:24-33
241You shall not worshipH7812 their godsH430, norH3808 serveH5647 them, norH3808 doH6213 according to their deedsH4639; 2but you shall utterlyH2040 overthrowH2040 them and breakH7665 their 3sacred pillarsH4676 in piecesH7665.
254But you shall serveH5647 the LordH3068 your GodH430, 5and He will blessH1288 your breadH3899 and your waterH4325; and 6I will removeH5493 sicknessH4245 from your midstH7130.
26There shall be noH3808 one miscarryingH7921 or 7barrenH6135 in your landH776; 8I will fulfillH4390 the numberH4557 of your daysH3117.
27I will 9sendH7971 My terrorH367 aheadH6440 of you, and 10throwH2000 into confusionH2000 allH3605 the peopleH5971 among whomH834 you comeH935, and I will 11makeH5414 allH3605 your enemiesH340 turnH5414 their backsH6203 to you.
28I will sendH7971 12hornetsH6880 aheadH6440 of you so that they will 13driveH1644 out the HivitesH2340, the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850 beforeH4480H6440 you.
2914I 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 15littleH4592 by littleH4592, untilH5704H834 you becomeH6509 fruitfulH6509 and takeH5157 possessionH5157 of the landH776.
3116I will fixH7896 your boundaryH1366 from the 17RedH5488H3220 SeaH3220 to the seaH3220 of the PhilistinesH6430, and from the wildernessH4057 to the RiverH5104 Euphrates; 18for I will deliverH5414 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 into your handH3027, and you will 19driveH1644 them out beforeH4480 you.
3220You shall 21makeH3772 noH3808 covenantH1285 with them 22or with their godsH430.
3323They shall not liveH3427 in your landH776, becauseH6435 they will make you sinH2398 against Me; for if you serveH5647 their godsH430, 24it will surelyH3588 be a snareH4170 to you.”
