Joshua13:13

13 Nevertheless, the children of Israel expelled no[illegible: 1+ letters] the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites: but the Geshurites and the Maacathites dwell among the Israelites unto this day .

This seems added by way of anticipation and reflection upon the present Israelites; implying, that although Moses did and might permit them to remain, both because the Land which he had Conquer'd was more than enough for the Israelitish Possessors; and because being intent upon their passage over Iordan, into the Land of Canaan, he would not delay them, by searching their Enemies out of all their corners; yet they were in fault, in not going on and perfecting the work which was begun by Moses, and carried on so far by Ioshua.
