Yet the Manassites were not able to occupy these towns, for the Canaanites were determined to live in that region.

But the people of Manasseh weren’t able to take over those towns. That’s because the Canaanites had made up their minds to live in that area.

Yet the people of Manasseh could not take possession of those cities, but the Canaanites persisted in dwelling in that land.

But the descendants of Manasseh were unable to occupy these towns because the Canaanites were determined to stay in that region.

The descendants of Manasseh could not possess these cities, because the Canaanites were determined to stay in this land.

Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities, but the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.

Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

The descendants of Manasseh could not possess these cities, because the Canaanites were determined to stay in this land.

Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out[ the inhabitants of] those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

But the men of Manasseh were unable to conquer these cities; the Canaanites managed to remain in those areas.

Yet the children of Manasseh couldn’t drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

But Manasseh did not take possession of Beth shean and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; so the Canaanites persisted in living in this land.And it came about, when Israel became strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor; but they did not drive them out completely.

I will not drive them out from you in a single year, so that the land will not become desolate and the animals of the field become too numerous for you.I will drive them out from you little by little, until you become fruitful and take possession of the land.I will set your boundary from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates River; for I will hand over the inhabitants of the land to you, and you will drive them out from you.You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods.They shall not live in your land, otherwise they will make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, it is certain to be a snare to you.”

Now as for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the sons of Judah could not drive them out; so the Jebusites live with the sons of Judah in Jerusalem to this day.

you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from you, and destroy all their idolatrous sculptures, destroy all their cast metal images, and eliminate all their high places;and you shall take possession of the land and live in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it.You shall maintain the land as an inheritance by lot according to your families; to the larger you shall give more inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give less inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to anyone, that shall be his. You shall pass on land as an inheritance according to the tribes of your fathers.But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from you, then it will come about that those whom you let remain of them will be like thorns in your eyes and like pricks in your sides, and they will trouble you in the land in which you live.And just as I plan to do to them, I will do to you.’ ”

But they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites live in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and they became forced laborers.

Therefore sin is not to reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts,and do not go on presenting the parts of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead, and your body’s parts as instruments of righteousness for God.For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under the Law but under grace.
