Joshua 17:14 in Context — Joshua 17

12 Mas os filhos de Manassés não puderam lançar aos daquelas cidades; antes os cananeus quis habitar na terra.

13 Porém quando os filhos de Israel tomaram forças, fizeram tributários aos cananeus, mas não o expulsaram.

14 E os filhos de José falaram a Josué, dizendo: Por que me deste por herança uma só porção e uma só parte, sendo eu um povo tão grande e que o SENHOR me abençoou assim até agora?

15 E Josué lhes respondeu: Se és povo tão grande, sobe tu ao monte, e corta para ti ali na terra do ferezeus e dos gigantes, pois que o monte de Efraim é estreito para ti.

16 E os filhos de José disseram: Não nos bastará a nós este monte: e todos os cananeus que habitam a terra da campina, têm carros de ferro; os que estão em Bete-Seã e em suas aldeias, e os que estão no vale de Jezreel.
