כי ילך מלאכי לפניך והביאך אל האמרי והחתי והפרזי והכנעני החוי והיבוסי והכחדתיו
כִּֽי־יֵלֵ֣ךְ מַלְאָכִי֮ לְפָנֶיךָ֒ וֶהֱבִֽיאֲךָ֗ אֶל־הָֽאֱמֹרִי֙ וְהַ֣חִתִּ֔י וְהַפְּרִזִּי֙ וְהַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֔י הַחִוִּ֖י וְהַיְבוּסִ֑י וְהִכְחַדְתִּֽיו ׃

Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
mine Angel: Exodus 23:20, Exodus 32:2, Isaiah 5:13
thee in: Exodus 3:17, Genesis 15:19-21, Genesis 34:2, Joshua 24:8-11
the Hivites: The LXX, Samaritan, Coptic, and one Hebrew manuscript add, "and the Girgashite;" thus making the seven nations.
Reciprocal: Genesis 15:18 - Unto thy Genesis 15:21 - Amorites Deuteronomy 12:29 - cut off Joshua 5:13 - a man Joshua 9:1 - Hittite Joshua 12:8 - the Hittites 1 Kings 9:20 - Amorites Ezra 9:1 - of the Canaanites
Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I will cut them off - The national existence of the Canaanites was indeed to be âutterlyâ destroyed, every trace of their idolatries was to be blotted out, no social contact was to be held with them while they served other gods, nor were alliances of any kind to be formed with them. (See Deuteronomy 7:0; Deuteronomy 12:1-4, Deuteronomy 12:29-31.) But it is alike contrary to the spirit of the divine law, and to the facts bearing on the subject scattered in the history, to suppose that any obstacle was put in the way of well disposed individuals of the denounced nations who left their sins and were willing to join the service of Yahweh. The spiritual blessings of the covenant were always open to those who sincerely and earnestly desired to possess them. See Exodus 20:10; Leviticus 19:34; Leviticus 24:22.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Exodus 23:23. Unto the Amorites — There are only six of the seven nations mentioned here, but the Septuagint, Samaritan, Coptic, and one Hebrew MS., add Girgashite, thus making the seven nations.
