Exodus 23:23-33

23For My angel will go before you, and bring you to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and the Jebusites, and I will cut them off.

24You are not to bow down to their gods or serve them, or do what they do. Rather, you are to utterly overthrow them, and break their pillars in pieces.

25You are to serve Adonai your God, and He will bless your food and your water. Moreover I will take sickness away from your midst.

26None will miscarry nor be barren in your land, and I will fill up the number of your days.

27“I will send My terror before you and throw all the people to whom you will come into panic, and make all your enemies turn their backs to you.

28I will send the hornet before you, which will drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites and the Hittites, from before you.

29I will not drive them out from before you in a single year. Otherwise the land would become desolate, and the animals of the field will multiply against you.

30But little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you are fruitful. Then you will possess the land.

31“I will set your border from the Sea of Reeds to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates River. For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you are to drive them out before you.

32Make no covenant with them or with their gods.

33They must not dwell in your land and cause you to sin against Me, for if you worship their gods, they will be a snare to you.”
