The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

20 "I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you on the way and bring you to the place I have prepared.

21 Pay attention to him, listen to what he says and do not rebel against him; because he will not forgive any wrongdoing of yours, since my name resides in him

22 But if you listen to what he says and do everything I tell you, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes.

23 When my angel goes ahead of you and brings you to the Emori, Hitti, P'rizi, Kena'ani, Hivi and Y'vusi, I will make an end of them.

24 You are not to worship their gods, serve them or follow their practices; rather, you are to demolish them completely and smash their standing-stones to pieces.

25 "You are to serve ADONAI your God; and he will bless your food and water. I will take sickness away from among you.

26 In your land your women will not miscarry or be barren, and you will live out the full span of your lives.

27 I will send terror of me ahead of you, throwing into confusion all the people to whom you come; and I will make all your enemies turn their backs on you.

28 I will send hornets ahead of you to drive out the Hivi, Kena'ani and Hitti from before you.

29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, which would cause the land to become desolate and the wild animals too many for you.

30 I will drive them out from before you gradually, until you have grown in number and can take possession of the land.
