20
Behold, I send an Angelbefore thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
21
Bewareof him, and obey his voice,provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
22
But if thou shalt indeedobey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary[a] unto thine adversaries.
23
For mine Angel shall gobefore thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
24
Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterlyoverthrow them, and quite break down their images.
25
And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will takesicknessaway from the midst of thee.
26
There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
27
I will send my fearbefore thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs[b] unto thee.
28
And I will sendhornetsbefore thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
29
I will not drive them out from before thee in oneyear; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the fieldmultiply against thee.
30
By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
31
And I will set thy bounds from the Redsea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them outbefore thee.
32
Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33
They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.
