Joshua 17:12-18
121But the sonsH1121 of ManassehH4519 couldH3201 not takeH3423 possessionH3423 of theseH428 citiesH5892, because the CanaanitesH3669 persistedH2974 in livingH3427 in that landH776. 13It cameH1961 about whenH3588 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 becameH2388 strongH2388, 2they putH5414 the CanaanitesH3669 to forcedH4522 laborH4522, but they did not 3driveH3423 them out completelyH3423.
14Then the 4sonsH1121 of JosephH3130 spokeH1696 to JoshuaH3091, sayingH559, “WhyH4069 have you givenH5414 me only oneH259 lotH1486 and oneH259 portionH2256 for an inheritanceH5159, since I am a numerousH7227 peopleH5971 whomH834 the LordH3068 has thusH3541 farH5704 blessedH1288?” 15JoshuaH3091 saidH559 to them, “IfH518 you are a numerousH7227 peopleH5971, goH5927 5up to the forestH3293 and 6clearH1254 a place for yourself thereH8033 in the landH776 of the PerizzitesH6522 and of the RephaimH7497, sinceH3588 the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669 is too narrowH213 for you.” 16The sonsH1121 of JosephH3130 saidH559, “The hillH2022 countryH2022 is not enoughH4672 for us, and allH3605 the CanaanitesH3669 who liveH3427 in the valleyH6010 landH776 have 7chariotsH7393 of ironH1270, both those whoH834 are in Beth-sheanH1052 and its townsH1323 and those whoH834 are in the valleyH6010 of JezreelH3157.” 17JoshuaH3091 spokeH559 to the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, to EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, sayingH559, “You are a numerousH7227 peopleH5971 and have greatH1419 powerH3581; you shall not haveH1961 oneH259 lotH1486 only, 18but the hillH2022 countryH2022 shall be yours. For though it is a forestH3293, you shall 8clearH1254 it, and to its 9farthestH8444 bordersH8444 it shall be yours; for you shall 10driveH3423 out the CanaanitesH3669, evenH3588 thoughH3588 they have 11chariotsH7393 of ironH1270 and thoughH3588 they are strongH2389.”
