Exodus 23:30-33 ▼

30 I will drive them out before you little by little, until you have increased and are strong enough to take possession of the land.

31 I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines (the Mediterranean), and from the wilderness to the River Euphrates; for I will hand over the residents of the land to you, and you shall drive them out before you.

32 You shall not make a covenant with them or with their gods.

33 They shall not live in your land, because they will make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, it is certain to be a trap for you [resulting in judgment].”
