20 "I am sending an angel ahead of you. He will guard you along the way. He will bring you to the place I have prepared.

21 Pay attention to him. Listen to what he says. Do not refuse to obey him. He will not forgive you if you turn against him. My very Name is in him

22 Listen carefully to what he says. Do everything I say. Then I will be an enemy to your enemies. I will fight against those who fight against you.

23 "My angel will go ahead of you. He will bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites. I will wipe them out.

25 "I am the LORD your God. Worship me. Then I will bless your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you.

29 "But I will not drive them out in just one year. If I did, the land would be deserted. There would be too many wild animals for you.

30 I will drive them out ahead of you little by little. I will do it until your numbers have increased enough for you to take control of the land.
