Joshua 17:12-14

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹² But Manasseh was not able to take possession of these cities since the Canaanites were determined to stay in this land. ¹³ When the Israelites became strong enough, they made the Canaanites do forced labor, since they didn’t force all of them out.

¹⁴ Joseph’s descendants asked Joshua, “Why did you give us only one region for an inheritance? We have a lot of people because the Lord has blessed us.”
