Joshua 16:10

And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.

And they drave not out {H3423} the Canaanites {H3669} that dwelt {H3427} in Gezer {H1507}: but the Canaanites {H3669} dwell {H3427} among {H7130} the Ephraimites {H669} unto this day {H3117}, and serve {H5647} under tribute {H4522}.

They did not drive out the Kena'ani living in Gezer, so the Kena'ani live together with Efrayim to this day, having become slaves to do the heavy work.

But they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer. So the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, but they are forced laborers.

And they drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim unto this day, and are become servants to do taskwork.
