Exegesis
The Hiphil perfect horishu {הוֹרִ֔ישׁוּ | hô-rî-šû} linked by the vav consecutive in vayeshev {וַיֵּ֨שֶׁב | way-ye-šeḇ} contrasts intended expulsion with actual settlement.
In context — Joshua 16:10
But they did not dispossess the Canaanite who dwelt in Gezer, so the Canaanite has remained among Ephraim until this day and has become a levy of labor .
