Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
So the Lord left those nations, without driving them out at once, nor had He delivered them into Joshua's power.
So Jehovah left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
the LORD left these nations instead of driving them out immediately or handing them over to Joshua.
Therefore, the Lord left all these nations, and he was not willing to quickly overthrow them, nor did he deliver them into the hands of Joshua.
