20 ^y“Behold, I send an angel before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared. 21 Pay careful attention to him and obey his voice; ^zdo not rebel against him, ^afor he will not pardon your transgression, for my name is in him.

22 “But if you carefully obey his voice and do all that I say, then ^bI will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.

23 ^y“When my angel goes before you and brings you ^cto the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, and I blot them out, 24 you shall ^dnot bow down to their gods nor serve them, ^enor do as they do, but ^fyou shall utterly overthrow them and break their ^gpillars in pieces. 25 You ^hshall serve the Lord your God, and ⁱhe¹ will bless your bread and your water, and ^jI will take sickness away from among you.
