Exodus 23:19-25 Good News Bible (GNB)

19. “Each year bring to the house of the Lord your God the first corn that you harvest.“Do not cook a young sheep or goat in its mother's milk.

20. “I will send an angel ahead of you to protect you as you travel and to bring you to the place which I have prepared.

21. Pay attention to him and obey him. Do not rebel against him, for I have sent him, and he will not pardon such rebellion.

22. But if you obey him and do everything I command, I will fight against all your enemies.

23. My angel will go ahead of you and take you into the land of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and I will destroy them.

24. Do not bow down to their gods or worship them, and do not adopt their religious practices. Destroy their gods and break down their sacred stone pillars.

25. If you worship me, the Lord your God, I will bless you with food and water and take away all your illnesses.
