Joshua 17:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² But the people of Manasseh weren’t able to take over those towns. That’s because the Canaanites had made up their minds to live in that area. ¹³ The Israelites grew stronger. Then they forced the Canaanites to work hard for them. But they didn’t drive them out completely.

¹⁴ The people in the family line of Joseph spoke to Joshua. They said, “Why have you given us only one share of the land to have as our own? There are large numbers of us. The Lord has blessed us greatly.”
