Exodus 23:24-33
241You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their deeds; 2but you shall utterly overthrow them and break their 3memorial stones in pieces.
254And you shall serve the Lord your God, 5and He will bless your bread and your water; and 6I will remove sickness from your midst.
26There will be no one miscarrying or 7unable to have children in your land; 8I will fulfill the number of your days.
27I will 9send My terror ahead of you, and 10throw into confusion all the people among whom you come, and I will 11make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
28And I will send 12hornets ahead of you so that they will 13drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from you.
2914I will not drive them out from you in a single year, so that the land will not become desolate and the animals of the field become too numerous for you.
30I will drive them out from you 15little by little, until you become fruitful and take possession of the land.
3116I will set your boundary from the 17Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates River; 18for I will hand over the inhabitants of the land to you, and you will 19drive them out from you.
3220You shall 21make no covenant with them 22or with their gods.
3323They shall not live in your land, otherwise they will make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, 24it is certain to be a snare to you.”
