'Labor' in the Bible

The Ephraimites did not conquer the Canaanites living in Gezer. The Canaanites live among the Ephraimites to this very day and do hard labor as their servants.

However, when the Israelites grew stronger, they imposed forced labor on the Canaanites but did not drive them out completely.

I gave you a land you did not labor for, and cities you did not build, though you live in them; you are eating from vineyards and olive groves you did not plant.’
