Exodus 23:24–33

²⁴“^aYou shall not worship their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their deeds; ^bbut you shall utterly overthrow them and break their ^csacred pillars in pieces.

²⁵“^aBut you shall serve the Lord your God, ¹and He will bless your bread and your water; and ^bI will remove sickness from your midst.

²⁶“There shall be no one miscarrying or ^abarren in your land; ^bI will fulfill the number of your days.

²⁷“I will ^asend My terror ahead of you, and ^bthrow into confusion all the people among whom you come, and I will ^cmake all your enemies turn their backs to you.

²⁸“I will send ^ahornets ahead of you so that they will ^bdrive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites before you.

²⁹“^aI will not drive them out before you in a single year, that the land may not become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.

³⁰“I will drive them out before you ^alittle by little, until you become fruitful and take possession of the land.

³¹“^aI will fix your boundary from the ¹Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River Euphrates; ^bfor I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will ^cdrive them out before you.

³²“^aYou shall ¹make no covenant with them ^bor with their gods.

³³“^aThey shall not live in your land, because they will make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, ^bit will surely be a snare to you.”
