Exodus 23:20-30

20 "I'm going to send a Messenger in front of you to protect you on your trip and bring you to the place I have prepared.
21 Pay attention to him, and listen to him. Don't defy him, because he will not forgive your disobedience. He is acting on my authority.
22 But if you will listen to him and do everything I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an opponent to your opponents.
23 "My Messenger will go ahead of you and will bring you to [the land of] the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites. I will wipe them out.
24 Never worship or serve their gods or follow their practices. Instead, you must destroy their gods and crush their sacred stones.
25 You must serve the LORD your God, and he will bless your food and water. I will take away all sickness from among you.
26 No woman in your land will miscarry or be unable to have children. I will let you live a normal life span.
27 "I will send my terror ahead of you and throw any nation you meet into a panic. I will make all your enemies flee from you.
28 I will spread panic ahead of you to force the Hivites, Canaanites, and Hittites out of your way.
29 I will not force them out of your way in one year. Otherwise, the land would be deserted, and wild animals would take over.
30 Little by little I will force them out of your way until you have increased enough in number to take possession of the land.
