Éxodo 23:22 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 23:22

But, if thou shall indeed obey his voice
Or "hearkening hearken", F14 to it attentively, listen to it, and diligently and constantly observe and obey in whatever he shall direct and order:

and do all that I speak;
by him; or whatsoever he had spoke, or was about to speak; for as yet all the laws and statutes were not delivered, especially those of the ceremonial kind:

then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine
adversaries;
which they should either meet with in their passage through the wilderness, or when they came into the land of Canaan; signifying hereby that he would protect them from them, subdue them under them, and give them victory over them, as that they should be utterly destroyed, and so way made for their possession of their land, as in the following words.

Éxodo 23:22 In-Context

20 »Date cuenta, Israel, que yo envío mi ángel delante de ti, para que te proteja en el camino y te lleve al lugar que te he preparado.
21 Préstale atención y obedécelo. No te rebeles contra él, porque va en representación mía y no perdonará tu rebelión.
22 Si lo obedeces y cumples con todas mis instrucciones, seré enemigo de tus enemigos y me opondré a quienes se te opongan.
23 Mi ángel te guiará y te introducirá en la tierra de estos pueblos que voy a exterminar: tierra de amorreos, hititas, ferezeos, cananeos, heveos y jebuseos.
24 »No te inclines ante los dioses de esos pueblos. No les rindas culto ni imites sus prácticas. Más bien, derriba sus ídolos y haz pedazos sus piedras sagradas.
