Joshua:17:12-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities ;
but the Canaanites would dwell in that land .
*
Yet it came to pass ,
when the children of Israel were waxen strong ,
that they put the Canaanites to tribute ;
but did not utterly drive them out .
*
And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua ,
saying ,
Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit ,
seeing I am a great people ,
forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto ?
*
And Joshua answered them ,
If thou be a great people ,
then get thee up to the wood country ,
and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants ,
if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee .
*
And the children of Joseph said ,
The hill is not enough for us :
and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron ,
both they who are of Bethshean and her towns ,
and they who are of the valley of Jezreel .
*
And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph ,
even to Ephraim and to Manasseh ,
saying ,
Thou art a great people ,
and hast great power :
thou shalt not have one lot only :
*
But the mountain shall be thine ;
for it is a wood ,
and thou shalt cut it down :
and the outgoings of it shall be thine :
for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites ,
though they have iron chariots ,
and though they be strong .
