the fat of my feast remain until the morning. The first of the
firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy
God thou shalt also not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. Behold, I
send mine angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee
into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him and hear his voice
and anger him not: for he will not spare your misdeeds, yea and my name
is in him. But and if thou shalt hearken unto his voice and keep all
that I shall tell thee, then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies and
an adversary unto thine adversaries. When mine angel goeth before thee
and hath brought thee in unto the Amorites, Hethites, Pherezites,
Cananites, Hevites and Iebusites, and I shall have destroyed them, see
thou worship not their gods neither serve them, neither do after the
works of them, but overthrow them and break down the places of them.
And see that ye serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread
and thy water, and I will take all sicknesses away from among you.
Moreover there shall be no woman childless or unfruitful in thy land,
and the number of thy days I will fulfill. I will send my fear before
thee and will kill all the people whither thou shalt go. And I will
make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee, and I will send
hornets before thee, and they shall drive out the Hevites, the
Cananites and the Hethites before thee. I will not cast them out in one
year, lest the land grow to a wilderness: and the beasts of the field
multiply upon thee. But a little and a little I will drive them out
before thee, until thou be increased that thou mayst inherit the land.
And I will make thy coasts from the red sea unto the sea of the
Philistines and from the desert unto the river. I will deliver the
inhabiters of the land into thine hand, and thou shalt drive them out
before thee. And thou shalt make none appointment with them nor with
their gods. Neither shall they dwell in thy land, lest they make thee
sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be thy
decay.
