Joshua 17:15. And Joshua answered them, If you are a great people, then get yourself up to the wood country, and cut down for yourself there in the land of the Perizite and of the Rephaim, if Mount Ephraim is too narrow for you. 16. And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us and all the Canaanites who live in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are from Beit-Sh’an and its towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel. 17. And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Manasseh saying, You are a great people, and have great power, you will not have one lot only. 18. But the mountain will be yours, for it is a wood and you will cut it down and its adjoining areas will be yours, for you will drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they are strong.
