Exodus 23:24–33

²⁴Thou shalt not adore their gods, nor serve them. Thou shalt not do their works, but shalt destroy them, and break their statues.

²⁵And you shall serve the Lord your God, that I may bless your bread and your waters, and may take away sickness from the midst of thee.

²⁶There shall not be one fruitless nor barren in thy land: I will fill the number of thy days.

²⁷I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come: and will turn the backs of all thy enemies before thee:

²⁸Sending out hornets before, that shall drive away the Hevite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, before thou come in.

²⁹I will not cast them out from thy face in one year; lest the land be brought into a wilderness, and the beasts multiply against thee.

³⁰By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, till thou be increased, and dost possess the land.

³¹And I will set thy bounds from the Red Sea to the sea of the Palestines, and from the desert to the river: I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hands, and will drive them out from before you.

³²Thou shalt not enter into league with them, nor with their gods.

³³Let them not dwell in thy land, lest perhaps they make thee sin against me, if thou serve their gods; which, undoubtedly, will be a scandal to thee.
