They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them

他们不照耶和华所吩咐的灭绝外邦人，

他们不照耶和华所吩咐的灭绝外邦人，

他们不照耶和华所吩咐的灭绝外邦人，

他们没有照耶和华的命令消灭外族人，

他们没有照着耶和华吩咐他们的，灭绝外族的人民，

他们没有照着耶和华所吩咐的，除灭那里的族群；

他們不照耶和華所吩咐的滅絕外邦人，

他們不照耶和華所吩咐的滅絕外邦人，

他們不照耶和華所吩咐的滅絕外邦人，

他們沒有照耶和華的命令消滅外族人，

他們沒有照著耶和華吩咐他們的，滅絕外族的人民，

他們不照永恆主所吩咐他們的、去消滅外族之民，

他們沒有照著耶和華所吩咐的，除滅那裡的族群；

民亦不遵耶和華命、滅絕異邦、

耶和華使民滅此異邦、民不聽從兮、

主命斯民勦滅異邦、竟不聽從、

雅瑋有命。敗類是鋤。

They did not destroy the peoples as the Lord had commanded them,

They didn’t destroy the nations in Canaan as the Lord had commanded them.

They did not destroy the peoples, as the Lord commanded them,

Israel failed to destroy the nations in the land, as the Lord had commanded them.

They did not destroy the peoples, As the Lord had commanded them,

They did not destroy the peoples, Concerning whom the Lord had commanded them,

They did not destroy the peoples, As Jehovah commanded them,

They did not destroy the peoples as the Lord had commanded them

They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

They did not destroy the nations, as the LORD had commanded them to do.

They didn’t destroy the peoples, as Yahweh commanded them,

You must destroy all the peoples the LORD your God is delivering over to you and not look on them with pity. Do not worship their gods, for that will be a snare to you.

and when the LORD your God delivers them over to you and you defeat them, you must completely destroy them. Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy.

At the same time the Benjaminites did not drive out the Jebusites who were living in Jerusalem. The Jebusites have lived among the Benjaminites in Jerusalem to this day.

If you ever turn away and become loyal to the rest of these nations remaining among you, and if you intermarry or associate with them and they with you,know for certain that the LORD your God will not continue to drive these nations out before you. They will become a snare and a trap for you, a sharp stick for your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you disappear from this good land the LORD your God has given you.

Then Samuel said: Does the LORD take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? Look: to obey is better than sacrifice, to pay attention is better than the fat of rams.For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and defiance is like wickedness and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has rejected you as king.

Then the disciples approached Jesus privately and said,“ Why couldn’t we drive it out?”“ Because of your little faith,” he told them.“ For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this mountain,‘ Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

But if you don’t drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, those you allow to remain will become barbs for your eyes and thorns for your sides; they will harass you in the land where you will live.And what I had planned to do to them, I will do to you.”

However, you must not let any living thing survive among the cities of these people the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.You must completely destroy them— the Hethite, Amorite, Canaanite, Perizzite, Hivite, and Jebusite— as the LORD your God has commanded you,

The descendants of Manasseh could not possess these cities, because the Canaanites were determined to stay in this land.However, when the Israelites grew stronger, they imposed forced labor on the Canaanites but did not drive them out completely.Joseph’s descendants said to Joshua,“ Why did you give us only one tribal allotment as an inheritance? We have many people, because the LORD has been blessing us greatly.”“ If you have so many people,” Joshua replied to them,“ go to the forest and clear an area for yourselves there in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim, because Ephraim’s hill country is too small for you.”But the descendants of Joseph said,“ The hill country is not enough for us, and all the Canaanites who inhabit the valley area have iron chariots, both at Beth-shean with its surrounding villages and in the Jezreel Valley.”

The LORD was with Judah and enabled them to take possession of the hill country, but they could not drive out the people who were living in the plain because those people had iron chariots.

Now go and attack the Amalekites and completely destroy everything they have. Do not spare them. Kill men and women, infants and nursing babies, oxen and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”

you must drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you, destroy all their stone images and cast images, and demolish all their high places.

But the descendants of Judah could not drive out the Jebusites who lived in Jerusalem. So the Jebusites still live in Jerusalem among the descendants of Judah today.

At that time Manasseh failed to take possession of Beth-shean and Taanach and their surrounding villages, or the residents of Dor, Ibleam, and Megiddo and their surrounding villages; the Canaanites were determined to stay in this land.When Israel became stronger, they made the Canaanites serve as forced labor but never drove them out completely.At that time Ephraim failed to drive out the Canaanites who were living in Gezer, so the Canaanites have lived among them in Gezer.Zebulun failed to drive out the residents of Kitron or the residents of Nahalol, so the Canaanites lived among them and served as forced labor.Asher failed to drive out the residents of Acco or of Sidon, or Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, or Rehob.The Asherites lived among the Canaanites who were living in the land, because they failed to drive them out.Naphtali did not drive out the residents of Beth-shemesh or the residents of Beth-anath. They lived among the Canaanites who were living in the land, but the residents of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath served as their forced labor.The Amorites forced the Danites into the hill country and did not allow them to go down into the valley.The Amorites were determined to stay in Har-heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim. When the house of Joseph got the upper hand, the Amorites were made to serve as forced labor.The territory of the Amorites extended from the Scorpions’ Ascent, that is from Sela upward.

However, they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer. So the Canaanites still live in Ephraim today, but they are forced laborers.

The LORD your God will give them over to you and throw them into great confusion until they are destroyed.He will hand their kings over to you, and you will wipe out their names under heaven. No one will be able to stand against you; you will annihilate them.
