LEB(i)
20 ⌊So the anger of Yahweh burned⌋* against Israel, and he said, "Because this people transgressed my covenant that I commanded their ancestors,* and have not obeyed my voice,
21 I will not again drive out anyone from before them from the nations that Joshua left when he died,
22 in order to test Israel whether or not they would observe the way of Yahweh, to walk in it just as their ancestors* did."
23 So Yahweh left those nations; he did not drive them out at once, and he did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
