As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.

Verse 63 is found in chapter 15 of Joshua. The final description of Judah includes cities in the hill country, wilderness, and other regions, concluding with the statement that the Jebusites living in Jerusalem were not expelled by the descendants of Judah. This detail introduces an important tension between assigned inheritance and effective occupation. Territorial possession therefore does not mean that every conflict has ended. The record prepares themes that will reappear during the period of the Judges.

Mas a los Jebuseos que habitaban en Jerusalem, los hijos de Judá no los pudieron desarraigar; antes quedó el Jebuseo en Jerusalem con los hijos de Judá, hasta hoy.
Los hijos de Judá no podían expulsar a los jebuseos que habitaban en Jerusalén, y los jebuseos habitaron con los hijos de Judá en Jerusalén hasta el día de hoy.
Les fils de Juda ne purent pas chasser les Jébusiens qui habitaient à Jérusalem, et les Jébusiens ont habité avec les fils de Juda à Jérusalem jusqu'à ce jour.
Or i figliuoli di Giuda non poterono scacciare i Gebusei che abitavano in Gerusalemme; perciò i Gebusei son dimorati in Gerusalemme co’ figliuoli di Giuda, infino a questo giorno
Não puderam, porém, os filhos de Judá expulsar os jebuseus que habitavam em Jerusalém; assim habitaram os jebuseus com os filhos de Judá em Jerusalém, até ao dia de hoje.
