The Hebrew text reads literally, “only in order that the generations of the Israelites might know, to teach them war – only those who formerly did not know them.” sn The stated purpose for leaving the nations ( to teach the subsequent generations…how to conduct holy war ) seems to contradict 2:22 and 3:4 , which indicate the nations were left to test Israel’s loyalty to the Lord . However, the two stated purposes can be harmonized. The willingness of later generations to learn and engage in holy war would measure their allegiance to the Lord (see B. G.
