Joshua 17:14 in Context — Joshua 17
12 Les fils de Manassé ne purent pas prendre possession de ces villes, et les Cananéens voulurent rester dans ce pays.
13 Lorsque les enfants d’Israël furent assez forts, ils assujettirent les Cananéens à un tribut, mais ils ne les chassèrent point.
14 Les fils de Joseph parlèrent à Josué, et dirent: Pourquoi nous as-tu donné en héritage un seul lot, une seule part, tandis que nous formons un peuple nombreux et que l’Éternel nous a bénis jusqu’à présent?
15 Josué leur dit: Si vous êtes un peuple nombreux, montez à la forêt, et vous l’abattrez pour vous y faire de la place dans le pays des Phéréziens et des Rephaïm, puisque la montagne d’Éphraïm est trop étroite pour vous.
16 Les fils de Joseph dirent: La montagne ne nous suffira pas, et il y a des chars de fer chez tous les Cananéens qui habitent la vallée, chez ceux qui sont à Beth-Schean et dans les villes de son ressort, et chez ceux qui sont dans la vallée de Jizreel.
