And they were left, to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.

For the purpose of testing Israel by them, to see if they would give ear to the orders of the Lord, which he had given to their fathers by the hand of Moses.

Και ταυτα ησαν δια να δοκιμαση τον Ισραηλ δι' αυτων· δια να γνωριση εαν υπηκουον εις τας εντολας του Κυριου, τας οποιας προσεταξεν εις τους πατερας αυτων δια του Μωυσεως.

And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the Lord, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
