13. He will love and bless you. He will make the number of your people grow. He will bless you with children. He will bless your fields with good crops. He will give you grain, new wine and oil. He will bless your cows with calves and your sheep with lambs. This is the way it will be in the land he promised your ancestors he would give you.
14. You will be blessed more than any other people. Every husband and wife will have children. All your cattle will have calves.
15. The Lord will take away all disease from you. You will not have the terrible diseases that were in Egypt. But he will give them to your enemies.
16. You must destroy all the people the Lord your God hands over to you. Do not feel sorry for them. Do not worship their gods. They will trap you.
17. You might say to yourselves, “These nations are stronger than we are. We can’t force them out.”
18. But don’t be afraid of them. Remember what the Lord your God did to all of Egypt and its king.
