10 Isaan Kanaʼaanota Geezir keessa jiraachaa turan sana ariʼanii achii hin baafne ture; hamma harʼaatti Kanaʼaanonni saba Efreem gidduu jiraatu; garuu akka hojii humnaa hojjetan dirqamu.
They did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so that the Canaanites live within Ephraim to this day, but these people were made to do forced labor.
