21. I also shall no longer drive out before them any of the nations which Yehoshua left when he died,
22. in order to try Yisra’ĕl by them, whether they would guard the way of יהוה, to walk in them as their fathers guarded them, or not.”
23. So יהוה left those nations, without driving them out at once, and did not give them into the hand of Yehoshua.
