Exodus 23:27-33

27“I will send my terror ahead of you and create panic among all the people whose lands you invade. I will make all your enemies turn and run.

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

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

30I will drive them out a little at a time until your population has increased enough to take possession of the land.

31And I will fix your boundaries from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, and from the eastern wilderness to the Euphrates River. I will hand over to you the people now living in the land, and you will drive them out ahead of you.

32“Make no treaties with them or their gods.

33They must not live in your land, or they will cause you to sin against me. If you serve their gods, you will be caught in the trap of idolatry.”
