New Living Translation (NLT)
Exodus 23
25 “You must serve only the LORD your God. If you do, I will bless you with food and water, and I will protect you from illness.
26 There will be no miscarriages or infertility in your land, and I will give you long, full lives.
27 “I will send my terror ahead of you and create panic among all the people whose lands you invade. I will make all your enemies turn and run.
28 I will send terror ahead of you to drive out the Hivites, Canaanites, and Hittites.
29 But I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate and the wild animals would multiply and threaten you.
30 I will drive them out a little at a time until your population has increased enough to take possession of the land.
31 And I will fix your boundaries from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, and from the eastern wilderness to the Euphrates River. I will hand over to you the people now living in the land, and you will drive them out ahead of you.
32 “Make no treaties with them or their gods.
33 They must not live in your land, or they will cause you to sin against me. If you serve their gods, you will be caught in the trap of idolatry.”
Exodus 24
1 Then the LORD instructed Moses: “Come up here to me, and bring along Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of Israel’s elders. All of you must worship from a distance.
2 Only Moses is allowed to come near to the LORD. The others must not come near, and none of the other people are allowed to climb up the mountain with him.”
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
