Verse 6 is found in chapter 3 of Judges. The nations remaining in Canaan serve as a test for the generations of Israel that had not experienced the earlier wars. Israel eventually intermaries with these peoples and serves their gods. Marriage itself is not presented here as an ethnic problem, but as part of a progressive incorporation of foreign religious practices. The central issue remains exclusive loyalty to the Lord.
