20. I am sending an angel to protect you and to lead you into the land I have ready for you.
21. Carefully obey everything the angel says, because I am giving him complete authority, and he won't tolerate rebellion.
22. If you faithfully obey him, I will be a fierce enemy of your enemies.
23. My angel will lead you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I will wipe them out.
24. Don't worship their gods or follow their customs. Instead, destroy their idols and shatter their stone images.
25. Worship only me, the Lord your God! I will bless you with plenty of food and water and keep you strong.
26. Your women will give birth to healthy children, and everyone will live a long life.
27. I will terrify those nations and make your enemies so confused that they will run from you.
28. I will make the Hivites, Canaanites, and Hittites panic as you approach.
29. But I won't do all this in the first year, because the land would become poor, and wild animals would be everywhere.
