Joshua 17:12-18

12Yet the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519 couldH3201 not drive outH3423 the inhabitants of those citiesH5892; but the CanaanitesH3669 wouldH2974 dwellH3427 in that landH776. 13Yet it came to pass, when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had become strongH2388, that they subjectedH5414 the CanaanitesH3669 to forced labourH4522; but did not utterlyH3423 drive them outH3423.

14And the childrenH1121 of JosephH3130 spokeH1696 to JoshuaH3091, sayingH559, Why hast thou givenH5414 me but oneH259 lotH1486 and oneH259 portionH2256 to inheritH5159, seeing I am a greatH7227 peopleH5971, forasmuch asH5704 the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288 me until nowH3541? 15And JoshuaH3091 answeredH559 them, If thou art a greatH7227 peopleH5971, then go upH5927 to the forestH3293, and cut downH1254 for thyself there in the landH776 of the PerizzitesH6522 and of the giantsH7497, if mountH2022 EphraimH669 is too smallH213 for thee.1 16And the childrenH1121 of JosephH3130 saidH559, The hillH2022 is not enoughH4672 for us: and all the CanaanitesH3669 that dwellH3427 in the landH776 of the valleyH6010 have chariotsH7393 of ironH1270, both they who are of BethsheanH1052 and its townsH1323, and they who are of the valleyH6010 of JezreelH3157. 17And JoshuaH3091 spokeH559 to the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, even to EphraimH669 and to ManassehH4519, sayingH559, Thou art a greatH7227 peopleH5971, and hast greatH1419 powerH3581: thou shalt not have oneH259 lotH1486 only : 18But the mountainH2022 shall be thine; for it is a forestH3293, and thou shalt cut it downH1254: and the bordersH8444 of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive outH3423 the CanaanitesH3669, though they have ironH1270 chariotsH7393, and though they are strongH2389.
