Original Hebrew

ושׁלחתי
7971 את 853 הצרעה 6880 לפניך 6440 וגרשׁה 1644 את 853 החוי 2340 את 853 הכנעני 3669 ואת 853 החתי 2850 מלפניך׃ 6440

SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:28

Yo enviaré la avispa delante de ti, que eche fuera al heveo, y al cananeo, y al heteo, de delante de ti.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 23:28

Verse 28. I will send hornets before thee] h[rxh hatstsirah. The root is not found in Hebrew, but it may be the same with the Arabic saraa, to lay prostrate, to strike down; the hornet, probably so called from the
destruction occasioned by the violence of its sting. The hornet, in natural history, belongs to the species crabro, of the genus vespa or wasp; it is a most voracious insect, and is exceedingly strong for its size, which is generally an inch in length, though I have seen some an inch and a half long, and so strong that, having caught one in a small pair of forceps, it repeatedly escaped by using violent contortions, so that at last I was obliged to abandon all hopes of securing it alive, which I wished to have done. How distressing and destructive a multitude of these might be, any person may conjecture; even the bees of one hive would be sufficient to sting a thousand men to madness, but how much worse must wasps and hornets be! No armour, no weapons, could avail against these. A few thousands of them would be quite sufficient to throw the best disciplined army into confusion and rout. From Josh. xxiv. 12, we find that two kings of the Amorites were actually driven out of the land by these hornets, so that the Israelites were not obliged to use either sword or bow in the conquest.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 20-33 - It is here
promised that they should be guided and kept in their wa through the wilderness to the land of promise, Behold, I send an ange before thee, mine angel. The precept joined with this promise is, tha they be obedient to this angel whom God would send before them. Chris is the Angel of Jehovah; this is plainly taught by St. Paul, 1Co 10:9 They should have a comfortable settlement in the land of Canaan. Ho reasonable are the conditions of this promise; that they should serv the only true God; not the gods of the nations, which are no gods a all. How rich are the particulars of this promise! The comfort of their food, the continuance of their health, the increase of their wealth the prolonging their lives to old age. Thus hath godliness the promis of the life that now is. It is promised that they should subdue their enemies. Hosts of hornets made way for the hosts of Israel; such mea creatures can God use for chastising his people's enemies. In rea kindness to the church, its enemies are subdued by little and little thus we are kept on our guard, and in continual dependence on God Corruptions are driven out of the hearts of God's people, not all a once, but by little and little. The precept with this promise is, tha they should not make friendship with idolaters. Those that would kee from bad courses, must keep from bad company. It is dangerous to liv in a bad neighbourhood; others' sins will be our snares. Our greates danger is from those who would make us sin against God __________________________________________________________________
