"I Am Sending An Angel Ahead of You"

"See, I am sending an angel ahead of you

to guard you along the way

and to bring you to the place I have prepared.

Pay attention to him

and listen to what he says.

Do not rebel against him;

he will not forgive your rebellion,

since my Name is in him.

If you listen carefully to what he says

and do all that I say,

I will be an enemy to your enemies

and will oppose those who oppose you.

My angel will go ahead of you

and bring you into the land of the

Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites,

Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites,

and I will wipe them out.

Do not bow down before their gods

or worship them

or follow their practices.

You must demolish them

and break their sacred stones to pieces.

Worship the Lord your God,

and His blessing will be on your food and water.

I will take away sickness from among you,

and none will miscarry or be barren in your land.

I will give you a full life span.

(Exodus 23:20-26)
