Judges 3:1-6
1 aNow these are the nations which the Lord left, to test Israel by them ( that is, all who had not ▼▼ Lit known
experienced any of the wars of Canaan; 2only in order that the generations of the sons of Israel might ▼▼ Lit know, to teach them
be taught war, ▼▼ Lit only
those who had not ▼▼ Lit known
experienced it formerly). 3These nations are: the five lords of the Philistines and all the Canaanites and the Sidonians and fthe Hivites who lived in Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal-hermon as far as ▼▼ Or the entrance of Hamath
Lebo-hamath. 4They were for ▼▼ Lit testing by them
,
itesting Israel, to find out if they would ▼▼ Lit hear
obey the commandments of the Lord, which He had commanded their fathers ▼▼ Lit by the hand of
through Moses. 5 lThe sons of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; 6and mthey took their daughters for themselves as wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
