גַּם־אֲנִי לֹא אוֹסִיף לְהוֹרִישׁ אִישׁ מִפְּנֵיהֶם מִן־הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר־עָזַב יְהוֹשֻׁעַ וַיָּמֹֽת
I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died;
לְמַעַן נַסּוֹת בָּם אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל הֲשֹׁמְרִים הֵם אֶת־דֶּרֶךְ יְהוָה לָלֶכֶת בָּם כַּאֲשֶׁר שָׁמְרוּ אֲבוֹתָם אִם־לֹֽא
that by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.’
וַיַּנַּח יְהוָה אֶת־הַגּוֹיִם הָאֵלֶּה לְבִלְתִּי הוֹרִישָׁם מַהֵר וְלֹא נְתָנָם בְּיַד־יְהוֹשֻֽׁעַ
So the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered He them into the hand of Joshua.
וְאֵלֶּה הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר הִנִּיחַ יְהוָה לְנַסּוֹת בָּם אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֵת כָּל־אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־יָדְעוּ אֵת כָּל־מִלְחֲמוֹת כְּנָֽעַן
Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
רַק לְמַעַן דַּעַת דֹּרוֹת בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל לְלַמְּדָם מִלְחָמָה רַק אֲשֶׁר־לְפָנִים לֹא יְדָעֽוּם
only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as beforetime knew nothing thereof;
