Exodus 23:24-33

24Do not bow down before their gods or worship them or follow their practices. You must demolish them and break their sacred stones to pieces.

25Worship the Lord your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you,

26and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span.

27“I will send my terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn their backs and run.

28I will send the hornet ahead of you to drive the Hivites, Canaanites and Hittites out of your way.

29But I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate and the wild animals too numerous for you.

30Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession of the land.

31“I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, and from the desert to the Euphrates River. I will give into your hands the people who live in the land, and you will drive them out before you.

32Do not make a covenant with them or with their gods.

33Do not let them live in your land or they will cause you to sin against me, because the worship of their gods will certainly be a snare to you.”
