Judges 2:23

23The Lord had allowed those nations to remain; he did not drive them out at once by giving them into the hands of Joshua.

23So the Lord allowed those nations to remain, not driving them out quickly; and He did not hand them over to Joshua.

23So the Lord allowed those nations to remain, not driving them out quickly; and He did not give them into the hand of Joshua.

23So the Lord allowed those nations to remain, not driving them out at once; and He did not give them into the hand of Joshua.

23That is why the Lord had left those nations in place and had not driven them out immediately by delivering them into the hand of Joshua.

23The Lord had let those nations remain in the land. He didn’t drive them out right away. He didn’t hand them over to Joshua.
