24. Formal Translation And the children entered and inherited the land; You {Yahweh, Divine Sustainer} subdued the inhabitants of the land—the Canaanites—before them and delivered them into their hand, together with their kings and the peoples of the land, to do with them as they desired. |
24. Dynamic Translation Their children took possession of the land. You {Yahweh, Sovereign Provider} caused the Canaanites who lived there to submit before them and handed over their kings and the peoples of the land, allowing them to deal with them as they wished. |
