Joshua 17:16-18

New King James Version

¹⁶ But the children of Joseph said, “The mountain country is not enough for us; and all the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have ^(A)chariots of iron, both those who are of Beth Shean and its towns and those who are ^(B)of the Valley of Jezreel.”

¹⁷ And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph—to Ephraim and Manasseh—saying, “You are a great people and have great power; you shall not have only one ^[a]lot, ¹⁸ but the mountain country shall be yours. Although it is wooded, you shall cut it down, and its ^[b]farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, ^(C)though they have iron chariots and are strong.”
