Joshua 17:14-16

Joshua 17:14-16 TPT

One day, the descendants of Joseph came to Joshua and said, “YAHWEH has blessed us with many people, but you have given us only one part of the land. We ought to have more land!” Joshua said to them, “If the hill country of Ephraim is too small for the large number of people in your tribes, then go into the forests which belong to the Perizzites and the Rephaites, and clear ground for yourselves there.” The descendants of Joseph answered, “Indeed, there’s not enough room for us in the hill country of Ephraim. Yet all the Canaanites who live in the plain have chariots with iron-rimmed wheels, both those in Beth Shean and its villages, and those in the Valley of Jezreel.”
