Joshua 17:14–18

¹⁴And ^xthe children of Joseph spake unto ^yJoshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but ^zone lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am ^aa great people, forasmuch as the Lord hath blessed me hitherto? ¹⁵And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to ^bthe wood country, and ^ccut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if ^dmount Ephraim be too narrow for thee. ¹⁶And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have ^echariots of iron, both they who are of Beth-shean and her towns, and they who are ^fof the valley of Jezreel. ¹⁷And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only: ¹⁸but the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have ^egiron chariots, and though they be strong.
