Joshua 17:16-18
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
16 And the children of Joseph answered him: We cannot go up to the mountains, for the Chanaanites that dwell in the low lands, wherein are situate Bethsan with its towns, and Jezrael in the midst of the valley, have chariots of iron.
17 And Josue said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasses: Thou art a great people, and of great strength, thou shalt not have one lot only:
18 But thou shalt pass to the mountain, and shalt cut down the wood, and make thyself room to dwell in: and mayst proceed farther, when thou hast destroyed the Chanaanites, who as thou sayest have iron chariots, and are very strong.

Joshua 17:16-18
New International Version
16 The people of Joseph replied, “The hill country is not enough for us, and all the Canaanites who live in the plain have chariots fitted with iron,(A) both those in Beth Shan(B) and its settlements and those in the Valley of Jezreel.”(C)
17 But Joshua said to the tribes of Joseph—to Ephraim and Manasseh—“You are numerous and very powerful. You will have not only one allotment(D) 18 but the forested hill country(E) as well. Clear it, and its farthest limits will be yours; though the Canaanites have chariots fitted with iron(F) and though they are strong, you can drive them out.”
