Exodus 23 — Context

Little by little I will send them away before you, till your numbers are increased and you take up your heritage in the land.

I will let the limits of your land be from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the waste land to the river Euphrates: for I will give the people of those lands into your power; and you will send them out before you.

Make no agreement with them or with their gods.

Let them not go on living in your land, or they will make you do evil against me: for if you give worship to their gods, it will certainly be a cause of sin to you.
