them and demolish their pillars. 023:025 You shall serve Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from your midst. 023:026 No one will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days. 023:027 I will send my terror before you, and will confuse all the people to whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you. 023:028 I will send the hornet before you, which will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you. 023:029 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the animals of the field multiply against you. 023:030 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and inherit the land. 023:031 I will set your border from the Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds} even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you. 023:032 You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. 023:033 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me, for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you." 024:001 He said to Moses, "Come up to Yahweh, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance. 024:002 Moses alone shall come near to Yahweh, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him." 024:003 Moses came and told the people all the words of Yahweh, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, "All the words which Yahweh has spoken will we do." 024:004 Moses wrote all the words of Yahweh, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel. 024:005 He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to Yahweh. 024:006 Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 024:007 He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, "All that Yahweh has spoken will we do, and be obedient." 024:008 Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which Yahweh has made with you concerning all these words." 024:009 Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up. 024:010 They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire{or, lapis lazuli} stone, like the skies for clearness. 024:011 He didn't lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel.
