Joshua 17:12-18

12Yet the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519 couldH3201 notH3808 driveH3423 outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of thoseH428 citiesH5892; but the CanaanitesH3669 would dwellH3427 in that landH776. 13And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were waxen strongH2388, that they putH5414 the CanaanitesH3669 to taskwork, and didH3808 notH3808 utterly driveH3423 them outH2388. 14And the childrenH1121 of JosephH3130 spake unto JoshuaH3091, sayingH559, WhyH4069 hast thou givenH5414 meH5414 but one lotH1486 and one part for an inheritanceH5159, seeing I am a greatH7227 peopleH5971, forasmuch as hitherto the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288 meH5414? 15And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto them, IfH518 thou be a greatH7227 peopleH5971, getH5927 thee upH5927 to the forestH3293, and cut downH3588 for thyself there in the landH776 of the PerizzitesH6522 and of the RephaimH7497; sinceH3588 the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669 is tooH7227 narrowH213 for thee. 16And the childrenH1121 of JosephH3130 saidH559, The hillH2022 countryH2022 is notH3808 enoughH4672 for usH559: and allH3605 the CanaanitesH3669 that dwellH3427 in the landH776 of the valleyH6010 have chariotsH7393 of ironH1270, bothH3605 they who are in Beth-sheanH1052 and herH3605 townsH1323, and they who are in the valleyH6010 of JezreelH3157. 17And JoshuaH3091 spake unto the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, evenH3808 to EphraimH669 and to ManassehH4519, sayingH559, Thou art a greatH1419 peopleH5971, and hast greatH1419 powerH3581: thou shalt notH3808 have one lotH1486 onlyH259: 18but the hillH2022 countryH2022 shall be thine; for thoughH3588 it is a forestH3293, thou shalt cut it downH3588, and the goings outH3423 thereof shall be thine: for thou shalt driveH3423 outH3423 the CanaanitesH3669, thoughH3588 they have chariotsH7393 of ironH1270, and thoughH3588 they be strongH2389.
