[23:20] “Behold, I send an angel before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared.
[23:21] Pay careful attention to him and obey his voice; do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgression, for my name is in him.
[23:22] “But if you carefully obey his voice and do all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.
[23:23] “When my angel goes before you and brings you to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, and I blot them out,
[23:24] you shall not bow down to their gods nor serve them, nor do as they do, but you shall utterly overthrow them and break their pillars in pieces.
[23:25] You shall serve the Lord your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you.
[23:26] None shall miscarry or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.
[23:27] I will send my terror before you and will throw into confusion all the people against whom you shall come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
[23:28] And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from before you.
[23:29] I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the wild beasts multiply against you.
[23:30] Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and possess the land.
[23:31] And I will set your border from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates, for I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.
[23:32] You shall make no covenant with them and their gods.
[23:33] They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me; for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
