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.

17 Josué dit à la maison de Joseph, à Éphraïm et à Manassé: Vous êtes un peuple nombreux, et votre force est grande, vous n’aurez pas un simple lot.

18 Mais vous aurez la montagne, car c’est une forêt que vous abattrez et dont les issues seront à vous, et vous chasserez les Cananéens, malgré leurs chars de fer et malgré leur force.
