Joshua 17:17-18

Contemporary English Version

¹⁷ “Your tribes do have a lot of people,” Joshua admitted. “I'll give you more land. Your tribes are powerful, ¹⁸ so you can have the rest of the hill country, but it's a forest, and you'll have to cut down the trees and clear the land. You can also have Jezreel Valley. Even though the Canaanites there are strong and have iron chariots, you can force them to leave the valley.”
