16 “The hill country is not enough for us,” they (YHWH has added) replied, “and all the Canaanites (merchants) who live in the valley (house of ease) have iron chariots, both in Beth-shean with its towns and in the Valley of Jezreel (God sows).” 17 So Joshua (YHWH saves) said to the house of Joseph (YHWH has added)—to Ephraim (doubly fruitful) and Manasseh (causing to forget)—“You have many people and great strength. You shall not have just one allotment, 18 because the hill country will be yours as well. It is a forest; clear it, and its farthest limits will be yours. Although the Canaanites have iron chariots and although they are strong, you can drive them out (merchants).” Joshua 17:16-18, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
