Exegesis
Finally, the emphatic negation vehoresh lo horisho {וְהוֹרֵ֖שׁ לֹ֥א הוֹרִישֽׁוֹ | wə·hō·rēš lōʾ hō·riš·ô} employs an infinitive absolute plus perfect to underscore that complete dispossession did not occur. The sequence of vav-consecutive verbs, the direct object marker, and the emphatic construction together highlight both the chronological progression and the incomplete fulfillment of the conquest.
In context — Joshua 17:13
And it happened, when the sons of Israel grew strong, they subjected the Canaanite to forced labor , but dispossessed him they did not.
