²¹ I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the Goyim which Yehoshua left when he died;

²² That through them I may test Yisroel, whether they will be shomrim Derech Hashem to walk therein, just as their Avot were shomer, or no.

²³ Therefore Hashem let those Goyim remain, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered He them into the yad Yehoshua.
