19. “When you gather your crops at harvest time, you should bring the first of everything you harvest to the house of the Lord your God. “You must not eat the meat from a young goat that is boiled in its mother’s milk.”
20. “I am sending an angel before you to protect you along the way and to lead you to the place that I have prepared for you.
21. Obey the angel and follow him. Be careful in his presence, and don’t rebel against him. The angel will not forgive the wrong things you do to him. He has my power in him.
22. If you listen to what he says and do everything I tell you, then I will be an enemy to all of your enemies. I will be against everyone who is against you.
23. “My angel will lead you through the land. He will lead you against many different people—the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites. But I will defeat all of them.
