Contemporary English Version
Exodus 23:31-33
Contemporary English Version
31 I will see that your borders reach from the Red Sea[a] to the Euphrates River and from the Mediterranean Sea to the desert. I will let you defeat the people who live there, and you will force them out of the land. 32 But you must not make any agreements with them or with their gods. 33 Don't let them stay in your land. They will trap you into sinning against me and worshiping their gods.
