Exodus 23:27-33 ▼

27 I will send My terror ahead of you and throw into confusion all the people among whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.

28 And I will send hornets ahead of you so that they will drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites before you.

29 I will not drive them out before you in a single year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.

30 I will drive them out before you little by little, until you become fruitful and take the land as an inheritance.

31 And I will set your boundary from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River; for I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will drive them out from before you.

32 You shall cut no covenant with them or with their gods.

33 They shall not live in your land, lest they make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
