Exodus 23:27-33
27 “I will cause the people ahead of you to feel terror(a) and throw into confusion(A) all the nations you come to. I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you in retreat.
28 I will send the hornet(b)(B) in front of you, and it will drive the Hivites, Canaanites, and Hittites away from you.
29 I will not drive them out ahead of you in a single year; otherwise, the land would become desolate, and wild animals would multiply against you.
30 I will drive them out little by little ahead of you until you have become numerous(c) and take possession of the land.
31 I will set your borders from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea,(d) and from the wilderness to the Euphrates River.(e) For I will place the inhabitants of the land under your control, and you will drive them out ahead of you.(C)
32 You must not make a covenant(D) with them or their gods.
33 They must not remain in your land, or else they will make you sin against Me. If you worship their gods, it will be a snare for you.”(E)
