16. “Also you shall observe the Feast of the Harvest of the first fruits of your labors from what you sow in the field; also the Feast of the Ingathering at the end of the year when you gather in the fruit of your labors from the field.
17. “Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord GOD.
18.
“You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread; nor is the fat of My feast to remain overnight until morning.

21. “Be on your guard before him and obey his voice; do not be rebellious toward him, for he will not pardon your transgression, since My name is in him.
22. “But if you truly obey his voice and do all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.
23. “For My angel will go before you and bring you in to the land of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will completely destroy them.
24. “You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their deeds; but you shall utterly overthrow them and break their sacred pillars in pieces.
25. “But you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water; and I will remove sickness from your midst.
26. “There shall be no one miscarrying or barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.
27. “I will send My terror ahead of you, and throw into confusion all the people among whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
28. “I will send hornets ahead of you so that they will drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites before you.
29. “I will not drive them out before you in a single year, that the land may not become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.

31. “I will fix your boundary from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River Euphrates; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will drive them out before you.
32. “You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods.
33. “They shall not live in your land, because they will make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
