27 At that time Manasseh (causing to forget) failed to drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean (house of ease), Taanach (sandy), Dor (generation), Ibleam (devouring the people), Megiddo (place of crowds), and their villages; for the Canaanites (merchants) were determined to dwell in that land. 28 When Israel (he wrestles with God) became stronger, they pressed the Canaanites (merchants) into forced labor, but they never drove them out completely. 29 Ephraim (doubly fruitful) also failed to drive out the Canaanites (merchants) living in Gezer (portion); so the Canaanites continued to dwell among them in Gezer. 30 Zebulun (exalted) failed to drive out the inhabitants of Kitron (incense) and Nahalol (pasture); so the Canaanites (merchants) lived among them and served as forced laborers.
