Joshua 17:16-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 The tribe of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us, yet all the Canaanites who live in the plain have chariots of iron, both those in Beth-shean and its villages and those in the Valley of Jezreel.”(A) 17 Then Joshua said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, “You are indeed a numerous people and have great power; you shall not have one lot only, 18 but the hill country shall be yours, for though it is a forest, you shall clear it and possess it to its farthest borders, for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron and though they are 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.”
