Judges 3:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ The Lord left those nations where they were to test the Israelites. He wanted to see whether they would obey his commands. He had given those commands through Moses to their people of long ago.

⁵ So the Israelites lived among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. ⁶ They married the daughters of those people. They gave their own daughters to the sons of those people. And they served the gods of those people.
