Judges 2:23

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

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

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

And Jehovah leaveth these nations, so as not to dispossess them hastily, and did not give them into the hand of Joshua.

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.
