Compare all
30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land.
31 And aI will set your bounds from the Red Sea to the sea, Philistia, and from the desert to the River. For I will bdeliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.  
32 aYou shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.  
33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, ait will surely be a snare to you.”

Exodus 23:32

Thou shalt make no covenant with them - They were incurable idolaters, and the cup of their iniquity was full. And had the Israelites contracted any alliance with them, either sacred or civil, they would have enticed them into their idolatries, to which the Jews were at all times most unhappily prone; and as God intended that they should be the preservers of the true religion till the coming of the Messiah, hence he strictly forbade them to tolerate idolatry.
