"Behold, I am going to send ^(C1)an angel before you to guard you along the way and ^(C2)to bring you into the place which I have prepared.

"Be attentive to him and obey his voice; ^(C1)do not be rebellious toward him, for he will not pardon your rebellion, since ^(C2)My name is in him.

"But if you truly obey his voice and do all that I say, then ^(C1)I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.

"^(C1)For My angel will go before you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I will completely destroy them.

"^(C1)You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their deeds; ^(C2)but you shall utterly overthrow them and break their ^(C3)memorial stones in pieces.

"^(C1)And you shall serve the LORD your God, ^(F1)and He will bless your bread and your water; and ^(C2)I will remove sickness from your midst.

"There will be no one miscarrying or ^(C1)unable to have children in your land; ^(C2)I will fulfill the number of your days.

"I will ^(C1)send My terror ahead of you, and ^(C2)throw into confusion all the people among whom you come, and I will ^(C3)make all your enemies turn their backs to you.

"And I will send ^(C1)hornets ahead of you so that they will ^(C2)drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from you.

"^(C1)I will not drive them out from you in a single year, so that the land will not become desolate and the animals of the field become too numerous for you.

"I will drive them out from you ^(C1)little by little, until you become fruitful and take possession of the land.

"^(C1)I will set your boundary from the ^(F1)Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates River; ^(C2)for I will hand over the inhabitants of the land to you, and you will ^(C3)drive them out from you.

"^(C1)You shall ^(F1)make no covenant with them ^(C2)or with their gods.

"^(C1)They shall not live in your land, otherwise they will make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, ^(C2)it is certain to be a snare to you."
