Transcript
“I am going to send an angel before you to protect you on the way and bring you to the place I have prepared.
Be attentive to him and listen to him. Do not defy him, because he will not forgive your acts of rebellion, for my name is in him.
But if you will carefully obey him and do everything I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes.
For my angel will go before you and bring you to the land of the Amorites, Hethites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I will wipe them out.
Do not bow in worship to their gods, and do not serve them. Do not imitate their practices. Instead, demolish them and smash their sacred pillars to pieces.
