Judges 2:23

That 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.

Therefore the Lord left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.

Note left: or, suffered

So the Lord left those nations, without driving them out hastily. He didn’t deliver them into Joshua’s hand.

So Jehovah left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
