LEB(i)
1 These are the nations that Yahweh left, to test Israel by them (that is, to test all those who ⌊had not experienced⌋* any of the wars of Canaan,
2 in order that the generations of Israel would know war, to teach those ⌊who had not experienced it⌋* before):
3 the five rulers of the Philistines, all the Canaanites,* the Sidonians,* and the Hivites* living on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon up to Lebo-Hamath.
4 They were left for testing Israel, to know whether they would keep the commands of Yahweh that he commanded their ancestors* through the hand of Moses.
5 And the ⌊Israelites⌋* lived in the midst of the Canaanites,* the Hittites,* the Amorites,* the Perizzites,* the Hivites,* and the Jebusites.*
6 And they took their daughters as wives for themselves, and they gave their daughters to their sons, and they served their gods.*
