Éxodo 23:23

23 Pues mi ángel irá delante de ti y te llevará a la tierra del amorreo, del heteo, del ferezeo, del cananeo, del heveo y del jebuseo; y los destruiré por completo.

Éxodo 23:23 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 23:23

For mine Angel shall go before thee
The same as before described:

and bring thee in unto the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite,
and the Canaanite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite;
six nations are only mentioned, though there were seven; the Girgashites are omitted, though added in the Septuagint version; and this omission of them might be, either because they were swallowed up by one or other of the other nations, particularly the Amorites, who were the most powerful; or rather, having mentioned the most and chiefest, the Lord was not careful, as Aben Ezra observes, to take notice of the least:

and I will cut them off;
from being a nation, either of them; for though there were some of them left, and dwelt about in the land, yet not as a kingdom and nation of themselves, as they had been, but became tributary to the Israelites.

Éxodo 23:23 In-Context

21 Sé prudente delante de él y obedece su voz; no seas rebelde contra él, pues no perdonará vuestra rebelión, porque en él está mi nombre
22 Pero si en verdad obedeces su voz y haces todo lo que yo digo, entonces seré enemigo de tus enemigos y adversario de tus adversarios.
23 Pues mi ángel irá delante de ti y te llevará a la tierra del amorreo, del heteo, del ferezeo, del cananeo, del heveo y del jebuseo; y los destruiré por completo.
24 No adorarás sus dioses, ni los servirás, ni harás lo que ellos hacen; sino que los derribarás totalmente y harás pedazos sus pilares sagrados.
25 Mas serviréis al SEÑOR vuestro Dios, y El bendecirá tu pan y tu agua; y yo quitaré las enfermedades de en medio de ti.
