The Tribes of Joseph Object

14 The descendantss of Joseph spoke with Joshua, saying, “Why have you given ust one allotment and one share as an inheritance? We are many people, which Yahweh has blessed.” 15 And Joshua said to them, “If you are many people, go up to the forest and clear a place there for yourselves in the land of the Perizzitesu and Rephaim, since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you.” 16 And the descendantsv of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us, and all of the Canaanitesw living in the land of the valley have chariotsx of iron, those in Beth-shean and its villages, and those in the Jezreel Valley.” 17 And Joshua said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, “You are many people and have great power; you will not have one allotment only; 18 the hill country will be yours. Even though it is a forest, you will clear it, and it will be yours to its farthest borders. You will drive out the Canaanites,y even though they have iron chariots and are strong.”
