15 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 Per´izzites and of the giants, if mount E´phra-im be too narrow for thee.
16 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 Beth–she´an and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.
17 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to E´phra-im and to Manas´seh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only:
18 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.
