Joshua 17:14-18 And the sons of Joseph answered Joshua, saying, Why have you caused us to inherit one inheritance, and only one lot? Seeing we are a great people, and God has blessed us.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ And the sons of Joseph answered Joshua, saying, Why have you caused us to inherit one inheritance, and only one lot? Seeing we are a great people, and God has blessed us. ¹⁵ And Joshua said to them, If you are a great people, go up to the forest, and clear the land for yourself, if Mount Ephraim is too small for you. ¹⁶ And they said, Mount Ephraim does not please us, and the Canaanite dwelling in it in Beth Shean, and in its villages, and in the valley of Jezreel, has choice cavalry and iron. ¹⁷ And Joshua said to the sons of Joseph, If you are a great people, and have great strength, you shall not have only one inheritance. ¹⁸ For you shall have the wood, for there is a wood, and you shall clear it, and the land shall be yours; even when you shall have utterly destroyed the Canaanite, for he has chosen cavalry; yet you are stronger than he.
