Exegesis
The modal ulai {אוּלַי | ʾû-lay} conveys uncertainty, leading to the Hiphil perfect ve-horashtim {וְהוֹרַשְׁתִּים | wə-hō-răš-tîm}, ‘I dispossess them,’ which anticipates fulfillment of the divine promise.
In context — Joshua 14:12
And now, give me this mountain that the LORD spoke of on that day; for you heard on that day that the Anakites were there and their cities were vast and fortified. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I will dispossess them just as He spoke.
