23:24 “You must not bow down to their gods; you must not serve them or do according to their practices. Instead you must completely overthrow them and smash their standing stones 4 to pieces. 5 23:25 You must serve 6 the Lord your God, and he 7 will bless your bread and your water, 8 and I will remove sickness from your midst. 23:26 No woman will miscarry her young 9 or be barren in your land. I will fulfill 10 the number of your days.
23:27 “I will send my terror 11 before you, and I will destroy 12 all the people whom you encounter; I will make all your enemies turn their backs 13 to you. 23:28 I will send 14 hornets before you that will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite before you. 23:29 I will not drive them out before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the wild animals 15 multiply against you. 23:30 Little by little 16 I will drive them out before you, until you become fruitful and inherit the land. 23:31 I will set 17 your boundaries from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the River, 18 for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will drive them out before you.
