“That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the Lord to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.”
in order to test Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk in it as their ancestors did, or not.' — The purpose clause reframes the unconquered Canaanites' presence from punishment into examination. The specification 'whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk in it' identifies the test's focus: sustained covenant obedience rather than momentary religious sentiment.
